I’m gonna remember this fine mechanic in 30 years

[@dylandream2248]

You say no torque setting for outer and you also say for inner. That is contrary to several sources that indicate torque for both inner & outer. Also some say to turn the wheel in proper direction when loosening inner TR and tightening so as not to load rack. What say you?

[@taylorwhiting1211]

Ordered a pair of those outer's after checking out this video.

[@donkiko6708]

Did u installed them

[@wojciechgurak8142]

Thank You!

Great vid, helped me change both inner and outer rods on my 2010 mazda 3. One question about tightening the castle nut. I did it by feel but I'm afraid I over tightened it, but the way I did it looks similar to this video. Should a cotter pin rest above the castle nut, as shown in the vid? Or should it sit within the castle nut ridges to prevent the nut from moving?

[@kaimanson3174]

I don't think it make any difference, as long as it is tight enough you are good. The pin is just as redundancy/extra safety to avoid the nut to come loose.

Love your videos. Spot on!

[@toddbannerman5851]

What is the size of that big ratchet handle you used for 21mm lugnuts?

[@iarewelder6337]

Breaker bar

[@BK3P]

My nut is very rusted and seized with the tie rod end. Someone has a tip to remove it?

[@pl6935]

my outer tire-rods from 1 aauto lasted 2 years (throughout the pandemic). Not worth putting a warranty claim. I just ordered Moog tie-rods that are greaseable instead. The moogs have lasted 5 years and counting on my other vehicle.

[@Reboot153]

Do these tie rods need to be greased after installation? Most outer tie rods that I've seen have a grease bib to pump grease into the tie rod after installation.

[@1AAuto]

+Reboot153 Our tie rods have the grease sealed internally and would not need to be greased after installation. +1A Auto
