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

  A: The replacement process of Rack And Pinion outer Tie Rod End begins with vehicle lifting and stable support. First isolate the front wheel then unscrew the outer tie rod while keeping the inner tie rod jam nut loose. The next step involves taking off the tie rod to Steering Knuckle nut before disposing of it. The steering linkage and tie rod puller (J 24319-B) will detach the outer tie rod from the Steering Knuckle before outer tie rod removal from the inner tie rod so write down the number of turns needed for future installation reference. Thoroughly discard the outer-to-inner tie rod jam nut. A person should inspect the inner tie rod threads until they become clean before installing a fresh outer to inner tie rod jam nut. Estimate the correct thread count from your recorded notes and apply it when threading the outer tie rod onto the inner tie rod. Secure the outer rod to the Steering Knuckle before installing the new outer tie rod nut to 60 nm. Use a new outer tie rod nut and secure it at 60 nm (44 ft. Lbs.). Set the toe and install the front wheel as the final step.
