2006 Chevrolet Equinox Parts Questions & Experts Answers

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

  A: The replacement process of a Rack And Pinion outer Tie Rod End starts when you lift and support your vehicle then detach the front tire assembly. Before installation mark the location on the jam nut then proceed to unfasten the inner Tie Rod jam nut. Before you remove the Tie Rod to knuckle nut you should hold the ball stud steady to avoid turning motion and delete the discarded knuckle nut when finished. Ever use a pickle fork or any wedge-type tool to free up the ball stud since they have the potential to damage both the seal and bushing. The j 24319-b (Steering Linkage and Tie Rod Puller) should be used to disconnect the Tie Rod from the Steering Knuckle so you can remove the outer Tie Rod from the inner one. During installation the user must combine the inner and outer Tie Rod before proceeding to join them to the knuckle. Reattach the front tire component before checking wheel alignment. The new Tie Rod retention nut must reach 60 nm during installation (44 ft. Lbs).
