• Q: How to replace the Rack and Pinion Outer Tie Rod End on 2005 Chevrolet Venture?

  A: The first step for replacing the Rack And Pinion outer Tie Rod End is nut removal from the ball stud. Apply the steering linkage and tie rod puller (J 24319-B) instead of pickle fork or wedges to remove the ball stud from the Steering Knuckle to prevent damaging the seal or bushing. The next step is to untighten the tie rod jam nut before removing the outer tie rod section from the inner tie rod section. After joining the inner and outer tie rods without tightening the tie rod jam nut install them on the Steering Knuckle. Clean the fastener completely to remove rust and achieve 2 nm of torque/drag against its partner before seating; if the fastener fails in this test you should replace it. First verify that 2.5-4.5 threads of the Tie Rod End show beyond the tie rod nut nylon before you install and tighten the tie rod ball stud nut to 30 nm (22 lb ft) + 120 degrees. Completing the check requires an evaluation and potential modification of toe settings.
