PREVIOUS TIE RODS NEXT
With the new upper and lower ball joints installed, you can reinstall the spindle. Use the supplied castle nuts and torque them to spec. Then install new cotter pins to keep everything secure.
Put the tie rod back on the spindle, measure stock tie rod length and make a note of it. This is necessary to retain proper alignment. Changing the length of these will affect the toe-in / toe-out setting and steering wheel center position.
Here are the new tie rod inner and outer links and polyurethane boots. Reassemble the tie rods using these.
Using the measurement you noted before, make the new tie rod assembly the same length as before. Install the polyurethane boots.
Install the tie rods and torque to spec. Install the grease fittings.
