It’s inaccurate and too imprecise to count the number of turns when removing the outer tie rod. It’s much more accurate to measure from the center of the tie rod end and a self-made mark on the tie rod itself. Since Chris is replacing both the inner tie rod and the outer, he would want to measure from the rack and pinion housing out to the center of the outer tie rod end before removal. Yes, he is going to get an alignment right afterwards, but I have seen different tie rod end lengths. This can render the car undrivable if using the turn count method.

I've replaced at least a dozen tie-rod ends. I've NEVER had one that would come out with a rubber mallet. I've always used a mini sledge hammer, and hit the spindle from the side. Usually 3 good wacks will pop it out. Also, instead of counting turns, I pull the inner and outer off intact and measure the distance from grease fitting to fitting. Then make sure the newly assembled unit is the same.

Chris, tonight or tomorrow morning I will be changing my outer tie rod ends on my 2007 Nissan Murano. I feel very confident doing this because of your video. I’ve always been super mechanically inclined and love DIY jobs. I originally was going to take my vehicle to a shop. When it comes to steering I have not attempted anything prior. I looked up how to check if a tie rod is bad an discovered you and your vids. I am incredibly impressed with how instructive and thorough you are. Because of your instruction is why I’m going to change these out myself with complete confidence. My driver side outer rod is sooooo loose one can lightly hold onto the bellow and spin the rod. CRAZY. I will comment as to how the job went. Thank you, Chris!

Thank you for your easy to follow instructions. I’m the type of person that needs to know how something works to know how to fix it. You do a good job of explaining the mechanics of a part as you show how to replace it. The close ups help a lot. My ex was an auto mechanic but I never paid attention to what he did when he fixed stuff. I wish I had but now I can do basic fixes. This looks doable for my skill set. I think this is the issue on my CRV. Front end makes a horrible clunking sound when going over bumps, turning sometimes, and braking hard. It started when we were out on a very bumpy rocky road. At almost 300k miles I’m not surprised lol.

Thanks, Chris. This video definitely helped me to replace both inner and outer tie rod ends on my car. Some Ford vehicles come from the factory with inner tie rod ends that don't accept a socket. They are perfectly round. For those cars (which happens to include mine!), there's an inner tie rod end tool made for this purpose. It's like a U-bolt/clamp that's serrated on the inside to grip better. Costs about $25.

People that dislike this video are mechanics they don't want people to know how to work on their own vehicle that way they can screw you over by not doing every step and keep the money flowing in their pocket." Big thanks to ChrisFix "

Mark F definitely. I have changed myself the disk brakes and brake pads. It cost me 33 euro. 1 service said they would do for 180 euro, second for 120 euro. Doing yourself is much cheaper.... Now I need change tie rods, and going do do myself again.... only the way for a student, who doesn't earn much....

You are very good at what you do and give ordinary people the ability to accomplish jobs like this by themselves without having to take it to the shop which would cost a fortune, keep up the great work..... don't understand why your getting a lot of negativity from people smh, they could at least give you some credit cause your videos has a lot of value to them

I like the education that accompany the videos..''' Wish we had KZbin 35-40 years ago & the internet too lol... Back then you either learned by trial & error, or had a friend, father or grandfather who worked on vehicles.... I had to learn by trial & error because my father was all thumbs & my grandfather gardened in his spare time & paid a mechanic friend of his for vehicle repairs. Now back in his younger years, he even had a Farrier re-shoe his horses. No joke there....

I was looking for how to change my tie rod at home, and realised I'm missing a few of the tools needed. I'll be shopping for them on payday, believe me. This is a lot easier than I was led to believe from my mechanic friends, who said it was the worst job to do when it came to basic suspension maintenance. I enjoy the helpful tips throughout also, it allows me to get an insight into what the hell is under my car because I never did the whole mechanic thing. Thanks for the video

Chris your videos are TOP TOP tier. I have watched nearly All of them just to know/learn. A suggestion for the sacrificial clamp over the hose boot is to use a plumbers sized pipe clamp. its easy to apply and can be torqued to hold without over doing it.

Roman Roman I have been wrenching on cars,trucks,tractors,race cars,etc,etc,74 years and in my experience his 20 twists(turns),wasn't enough,he forgot to allow for the extra length of the new inner tie rod !!!!! I would have cut off the excess to match the original length of the old tie rod and THEN turned the new end on 20 twists (turns) !!!!!. ♿ 🇱🇷
