[@victorjbarker]

Thanks saved the time to find out off inner TRD is serviceable or not... And those side pliers are kickass

[@Mrpaponte]

Excellent video and very good explanation, thanks

[@paulbatzel4905]

Very nice video. One minor quibble...forgot to tighten the jamnut to the outer rod end after installing 20 turns.

[@jwbostonj2648]

Alignment

[@josealmaraz2592]

Thank you so much for all these videos

[@864doorcutty]

Excellent video easy to follow 👍

[@Peter-lk8cj]

Why didn't you crack the jam nut first??? works way better than dropping the tie rod end first!!!

[@dwanecollins6234]

Right straight to the point!

[@romualddowbor5236]

Excellent video.

[@michaelanthony3216]

Real pros use pipe wrenches to break jam nuts free! 🤣 I recommend using blue loctite on the inner tie rod.

[@fireemtb79]

Thank you for the video .

[@beantown9211]

Can you put a link for the long pliers you used ?

[@roblackey4352]

Mitchell says to remove the steering rack to replace my inner tie rod on a 2010 Ford Edge. I was quoted $500 in labour to do it. Is this for FWD and AWD alike?

[@ironbeard9217]

Great video! Clean image and audio, also straight to the point, and very informative. If possible maybe throw in how long it may have took you? I do most work to my vehicles but my Edge is my main vehicle so time is key for me. Keep up the great work!

[@adrianv3916]

Great video, thx!

+A V Thanks for watching our video! 1aau.to/m/Shop-TRQ

[@DaytonCarCare]

Probably better to just replace both inner and outer at the same time just to save on extra labor cost of doing it again when the outer wears out.

[@TRQ]

+DaytonCarCare Thanks for the feedback! 1aau.to/m/Shop-TRQ

[@colinwallyboy9829]

Good video. Would you suggest blue lock tight on the inner tie rod threads?

[@RzVids]

Yes

[@andyt1573]

Is it normal i have fluid in the boot, lots.. even after i have changed the oring and seals

[@bigkev6784]

Dude you make Great videos. Tks Oh yea where did you get those NICE Locking Pliers BRO.

[@bricehenninger]

I was wondering the same thing about those locking pliers

[@henryantrim88]

9 months later but hes using a Bahco pipe wrench.

[@josealmaraz2592]

What kind of pliers are those ???

[@jarretthanson8514]

So you do NOT need to drop the rack & pinion?

[@johnkietzmann4047]

Quick question, what about the 4 flap lock washer? Having trouble with that bit, thanks!

[@MS-dx6yz]

Did you figure this out? Just starting this project and got to this point. Stuck.

[@leticiasantiago2707]

@@MS-dx6yz yes use a flat head and hammer to push it back

[@mdnkln]

Does inner tie rod not have a torque spec?

[@bobbafatt12]

I love your videos. They have seriously helped me with so many repairs. Thank you!

[@chrisinmontreal]

Do you really need to remove the rack and pinion? My garage quotes me 4.5 hours of labor and 1000$ total with parts. ford edge sport awd 2014

[@repsol118]

What are the name of those pliers/channel locks/vise grips lol absolutely love them name and store to purchase please

[@repsol118]

I believe I found them….. 142 universal pipe wrench ??????? Or harbor freight has one it’s called Swedish pattern pipe wrench it’s pretty close to the 142

[@davidbloomberg9494]

Just picked up one today at local HF.....in preparation for use on our 2013 Ford Edge

[@repsol118]

[@joshuaclaus8722]

Hello great video, could you please tell me what make and model number of 90 degree locking pliers you used?

[@DARRYLJENNINGS1961]

I've been told that my 2014 Ford Edge needs new Tie Rods soon. I have CP and am pretty independent. So I figured I'd take a look at how these are replaced on KZbin. Even though you made it look simple, I don't have the flexibility or the tools to replace them myself. You may just have justified the price the dealer quoted me to have them replaced. Good video!

[@bobbymartin3588]

Why did you 35 torque this tie rod end but in another video for the entire control arm you torqued the tie rod end to 110

[@jarretthanson8514]

Do you have to drop the rack and pinion to do the driver side? Shop quoted me $1100 for inners!!!!!

[@TRQ]

+Jarrett Hanson Thanks for watching. Buy the part in this video on 1AAuto.com: 1aau.to/m/Shop-TRQ

[@x6King6x]

You forgot to add more grease in the ball joint

[@stanza77]

Couldn't get to that wire on a CX9, NO ROOM IN THERE.

[@ELEGODBeats]

Im in the same position. wth they put a damn bread tie on a tie rod? 🤧

[@AlanaReeves]

Can anyone tell me how long this actually takes? Need mine done and the shop wants to charge 4 - 5 hrs for labor.

[@RzVids]

If you've never done it and are considering to attempt it then it will take you 4-5 hours or more to do it. That's how shops charge labor. In reality, an experienced professional could do this in 1-1.5 hours including the alignment afterwards. It's not that hard, but when you have a lift and the right tools and knowledge for the job it's pretty quick.

[@sparky81181]

According to Alldata it takes 4.4, but that is to replace the entire rack and pinion assembly. normally yes it would be billed for 1-1.5 hours.. however according to my system it says the inner tie rod is not replaceable. it calls for the entire rack.

[@jessebaker6229]

The video neglects to show the removal of the 4 flap washer and the need to heat up the thread lock on the inner joint.

[@captain4121]

Funny that it took the Ford dealership 2 weeks to do this

[@brandonsmith5692]

Wish it really took 8 min lol

[@timmorris4483]

Uugghh I would have sprayed the nut on the outer one first and once the nut is loose run it up several threads that way if you accidentally hit the treads they r not rumors and where was your wrenches?????

[@desertfox4273]

He's flat rate , no doubt
