Recently I changed out my outer tie rod on the passenger side because its had it. I didnt see a DIY on it yet so I thought I'd make one to show who dont know how to do it how easy it is.

what you will need:

A jack

several wrenches

a grease gun

some plumbers tape (optional)

c-clamp

hammer or rubber mellet

HERE WE GO!!!

1. Hop in your ride and engage the emergency brake; then put a chock or something behind the wheel to make sure your vehicle does not roll when you raise it up. My driveway is not flat so that's why I recommend doing this. If you are working on a flat surface, move to step 2.
