  Q: How to replace the Rack and Pinion Outer Tie Rod End on Cadillac DTS?

  A: The procedure for Rack And Pinion outer Tie Rod End replacement starts by lifting and supporting the vehicle. You need to remove the tire and wheel before you take off the outer tie rod retaining nut while you loosen the jam nut of the inner tie rod . Begin replacement of the Rack And Pinion outer Tie Rod End by first using the j 24319-b steering linkage and tie rod puller to disconnect the outer tie rod from the Steering Knuckle before removing the outer tie rod from the inner tie rod. During installation the outer tie rod should be connected to the inner tie rod but the jam nut should stay loose. Prior to finishing the operation install the outer tie rod to the Steering Knuckle. Proceed with torquing the outer tie rod retaining nut to 47 n.m (35 lb ft) followed by an additional 1/6 turn up to 70 n.m (52 lb ft). You should reinstall the tire followed by the wheel then lower your vehicle.
