Mercedes E63 AMG Tie Rod and Steering Rack Bushing Replacement DIY (2003-2009 Mercedes W211)

[@grahammcallister1619]

Great explanation sir. One point of observation, you recorded the distance from the inside of the original locknut to the bush clamp, however, the new locknut was thinner than the original locknut resulting in the new ‘track rod’ being screwed further on than the old one would have been. Maybe the measurement should have been taken from the edge of the old tie-rod…assuming the new tie-rod was the same length as the old one?.

[@dsotojc4645]

Good observation sir. I’ll keep that in mind.

Nice work. Is the steering rack bushing replacement going to be a separate video?

great video very thorough. I have a w207 that uses w204 parts mostly and was wondering if hte rack and pinion actually has a bushing or do they bolt directly into the chassis with no rubber buffer? Also I went to an alignment shop and they were unable to align my car although the inner and outer tie rods were brand new and the reason for the alignment they blamed the tie rod for their inability. They turned it the same method that I saw you do to tighten the inner tie rod and there was some play. I noticed this as well but it was a small amount of play from the rack itself moving in the same circular direction as the innertie rod. Is this an issue? I can't see how this would be an issue as the inner tie rod spins in a similar fashion to the inner tie rod. But they claim this was the reason they could not adjust the toe of my vehicle.

As I'm watching this I was told I got a package in the mail. My oil change kit and pollen filter showed up from you guys. You guys are awesome and love the videos you upload!!!!

Clean and helpful. Thanks a lot.

[@themaddendynasty5099]

These videos are all so helpful. I greatly appreciate them

[@johnchambers12]

I have used a good pipe wrench to take the old one off my jeep and then used my inner tie rod tool to torque the new one on

[@lilfendiiofficialpage]

Do you need a special tool to pinch the tie rod boot clamp?

[@MrBlitzHD]

Can you make a playlist dedicated just for the E63 W211?

[@thelongranger55]

I’ll be doing this & a complete front/rear suspension refresh in a few weeks , i can’t wait to see the difference how my car handles because I have already installed East Coast Euro engine & transmission mounts & currently installing new flex discs, drive shaft center support ,bearing & boot ,Creative Steel rear differential bushings & rear subframe bushings ! .

[@fcpeuro]

Th ride is going to be reaaaaal nice!

[@thelongranger55]

@@fcpeuro I sure hope so , the center support & bearing just arrived today ( late because Mother’s Day ) so I’ll be re assembling it today , can’t wait for some syncro design works thrust arms either !

When ordering tie rod parts from your web site how to tell which one is for the left or the right side?

Not 4Matic. Not helpful to me.

[@Onry1]

U work on Mercedes for a living and you don't have the correct tools???

[@angturil]

No need for the dedicated inner tie rod extractor on most MB's, i did it plenty of times on many models and always used an adjustable, it's quick, handy and no wasting time!

[@c.h.r.i.s2253]

Why did you waste so much time separating the inner and outer when you are replacing both and using a new boot. That was a complete waste of time. Just remove it as one part!!!!
