Did this come painted or powder coated?

[@SteveDBallantyne]

This was a great video. You certainly had an easier time than I did - but that Jeep is in much better shape than mine. :-) Also, nice garage setup! I am jealous!

Am I missing something? The title says Tie Rod END replacement. You just replaced the whole thing not the ends right?

[@cody39yrs]

Yes it's the only way to replace the two ends as they are one unit.

[@jakealcazar3805]

@@cody39yrs Huh? No, you can buy the ends separately. The guy above is right, this is a replacement of the full tie rod, not the ends.

[@CamDBush]

@@jakealcazar3805the passenger side outer tie rod end of these Wranglers comes crimped to the tie rod so it can’t be removed. So it has has to be replaced as one unfortunately

[@SteveDBallantyne]

At the 5:33 mark, he mentions the crimped end. Also this was maddening for me to find replacement parts at the auto part stores because they call everything a "tie rod end"! And then half the time, the pictures from the site / app do not match.

Excellent video Sir thank you

[@HomeownerRepair]

Glad you liked it

Whey dont you change the ball joint only instead of complete tie rod ? Thanks

[@HomeownerRepair]

The tie rod was bad on this vehicle so we had to replace it. Hope this auto repair video helps you out.

[@hernandezleslie109]

How much was that repair? Need it done too just don't want to get ripped off!

[@HomeownerRepair]

The tie rod replacement itself should only take an hour, it's pretty easy to do. So whatever the hourly rate of the shop is. You may want to ask the shop you're going to.

[@rubberstump]

Did this come bare metal or painted powder coated?

[@HomeownerRepair]

It was bare metal

[@joncruz]

When I followed your Amazon link it says is not compatible with JK 2018

[@HomeownerRepair]

If you search for your year they should come up for you.

[@moparfamily814]

Torque ??? 😂 Is very important for jeeps

[@oldsouthautodetail9327]

You don't torque thise due to the pin needing to go through the hole. It's not going to come out.

[@nickb317]

You are supposed to torque castle nuts. You do the normal torque procedure and then you keep going until the hole lines up with one of the grooves and then pin it.

[@HomeownerRepair]

The method shown is fine.
