when u crack the tie rod loose and are ready to spin it off, make sure u count the number of full turns it takes to come out. Then when u put on the new one, screw it on till u reach the # of turns it took to get off. ( if it took 20 full turns to take off, do 20 full turns when putting it on) this way your alignment will be as close as possible to before. You may need alignment after replacing tie rods

The spin on 20 times, spin off 20 times doesn't always work. Some OEM and Aftermarket ends I found from experience are not the same size or legnth. Acctually I've never had a tie rod the same. Just a thought.

just remmeber technical school is just a guide or a stepping stone but it is actually yourself that will want to learn this shit. im in school too, but after being in engineering school and all that school crap. this is what i finally want to learn and do.

push yourself to be the best

okay, i gojo'd my hands,(huffing and puffing the whole time) sat down at the computer and started this thread while completely frustrated...i was doing my first rotor replacement and just kept running into problem after problem after problem...after coming in, collecting my thoughts, centering myself and reading a few posts, i realized how easy it was going to be to take the tie rod end off...

so i took it off and replaced it with a new one...

i didn't realize that replacing both front rotors and pads was so involved...fun though!

thanks for the help guys.......
