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

  A: The replacement of a Rack And Pinion outer Tie Rod End requires operators to employ the j 24319-b steering linkage and tie rod puller. It enables tackling the outer tie rod separation from the Steering Knuckle following tie rod jam nut loosening and ball stud nut removal. A wedge type tool and pickle fork must be avoided since they could harm the bushing or seal. The installation of the new outer tie rod onto the inner tie rod begins by placing the component without tightening the tie rod jam nut . The Steering Knuckle should next receive the outer tie rod installation. The fastener must be rust-free with no contaminants because it needs to create 2 nm (18 inch lbs.) torque resistance against the other connection piece to properly seat; if it does not meet this requirement then change the fastener. Check that 4.5 millimeters to 2.5 millimeters of Tie Rod End threads show past the tie rod nut nylon before securing the tie rod ball stud nut to 30 nm (22 ft. Lbs.) + 120 degrees. Check and readjust the toe according to required specifications during the final stage.
