FYI for the DIY'ers out there- when changing all your own chassis and steering parts, tighten all your own nuts and bolts! Don't assume the guy at the alignment shop is going to check all of your work. We've had guys rebuild the entire front end of their cars (ball joints, tie rods, pitman and idler arms) and just run the castle nuts on finger tight and shove in a cotter pin! They said they assumed we needed it all loose to adjust the alignment. LOL

If you happen to miss the hole for the cotter pin after tightening, continue until it lines up again. Don't ever back it off to line it up. It could wallow out the hole in the spindle causing noise, looseness, or play in the steering. In some cases the tie rod could break and then really bad thing happens.

A guy at the shop told me I needed a wheel hub, well after doing that it turns out it was just the tie rod end, great video, I like when you say you don't have to kill the nut I have never killed a nut. I call it Angry monkey tight maybe not so PC

Looking to overhaul my whole front suspension ball joints. No Haynes manual. Just a lot of these great instructive videos. And some advice on the job from experienced/schooled autopart store guys. Thanks for this!

I use a compass, you know the ones used for drawing circles. spread it out to the jam nut, stick the pointy end in the grease fitting and lock it. use it to measure the new one. Somewhat accurate.

Seeing the difference between 2014 and 2019 videos is great! Production and editing is a different level now but the instructions and commentary is still second to none.

HI Eric, I have a 2006 ford ranger with bad outer tie rod ends. Would it be a good idea to change both inner tie rods at the same time. THANKS FRIEND
