  Q: How to Service and Repair the Tie Rod End on a Chevrolet HHR?

  A: Replacement of the rack and pinion outer Tie Rod End begins by taking out the front tire-wheel assembly. The rack and pinion inner tie rod nut requires initial lightening before you remove the rack and pinion outer Tie Rod End nut. Seamlessly separate the rack and pinion outer Tie Rod End from the Steering Knuckle using the steering linkage and tie rod puller (J 24319-B). Record each complete turning motion that removes the Tie Rod End from the inner rack and pinion component. Gather the rack and pinion outer Tie Rod End from the rack and pinion inner tie rod assembly and discard the inner tie rod nut. High-quality care must be applied to rack and pinion inner tie rod threads. Examine threads for damage while cleaning and repairing or replacing them when required. Place a new rack and pinion inner tie rod nut before attaching the rack and pinion outer Tie Rod End to the rack and pinion inner tie rod maintaining the same rotation count that existed during removal. Put the rack and pinion outer Tie Rod End onto the Steering Knuckle before tightening its new nut to 25 n.m (18 lb ft) with an additional 90 degrees of rotation. Before completing the repair, install the front tire/wheel after tightening the inner tie rod nut while readjusting the front toe.
