• Q: How to replace the Rack and Pinion Outer Tie Rod End on 2007 GMC Envoy?

  A: Replacement of the Rack And Pinion outer Tie Rod End starts by properly elevating and supporting the vehicle. The process begins by removing both tire and wheel next to disconnect the external tie rod retaining nut. The wedge technique should be used to drive between an attached part and steering linkage joint to stop seal damage from occurring. The steering linkage and tie rod puller tool (J 24319-B) will help you disconnect the outer tie rod from the Steering Knuckle. Detach the jam nut first while removing the outer tie rod from the inner tie rod before throwing away the jam nut. Verify that the shaft has no bent threads and wipe the tapered part of the Steering Knuckle. A suitable chassis lubricant needs to be used when applying a sufficient amount to the inner tie rod threads before putting in the new outer tie rod. Begin by adding the new jam nut to the outer tie rod then connect both the outer tie rod to the inner tie rod and the Steering Knuckle. The new outer tie rod retaining nut needs installation after which you should tighten it to 60 n.m (44 lb ft). Put back the wheel with tire below the vehicle and perform front toe adjustments.
