• Q: How to replace the Rack and Pinion Outer Tie Rod End on 2006 Buick Rendezvous?

  A: The replacement process for Rack And Pinion outer Tie Rod End starts with vehicle support through wheel raising and subsequent front wheel removal. Start removing the tie rod ball stud nut then loosen the tie rod jam nut before proceeding. To free the ball stud never use a pickle fork or wedge type tool because this will harm the seal or bushing but the j 24319-b universal steering linkage puller (J 24319-B) should be used instead. Discard the outer tie rod from the inner tie rod prior to additional installation steps. The installation process requires mounting the outer tie rod onto the inner tie rod but refrain from tightening the tie rod jam nut. Install the outer tie rod on the Steering Knuckle. You must check the fastener cleanliness along with rust-free condition before installing it because failure to achieve 2 nm (18 inch lbs.) of torque against its partner requires a new fastener. Fasten the tie rod ball stud nut to a torque of 30 nm while additionally turning it + 120° (2 flats) to achieve 2.5-4.5 Tie Rod End threads outside the tie rod nut nylon. End your procedure by attaching the front tire and wheel while lowering the vehicle to check and adjust toe settings per need.
