We hang out and remove the wheel from the side of the replaced tip. We securely fix the car on a factory-made stand. Turn the steering wheel all the way in the direction opposite to the tip to be removed.
We show the replacement of the left tie rod end, the right tie rod end is replaced in the same way.
Using the "22" wrench, we loosen the tightness of the tie rod end locknut, holding the tip from turning with the "19" wrench.
With a spanner wrench or a "19" head, we unscrew the nut securing the ball joint pin of the tip to the steering knuckle lever.
Using a puller, we press out the pin of the ball joint of the tip from the eye of the steering knuckle lever. In the absence of a puller, slightly press the ball joint pin with an adjustable stop.
By striking with a hammer on the eye of the lever..
... we press out the ball joint pin from it.
We take away the tip with the thrust assembly away from the steering knuckle.
If the tip ball joint boot is damaged and the ball joint is in satisfactory condition (no backlash and jamming), then you can only replace the anther. To do this, take out its retaining ring and remove the anther.
Once again, we check the condition of the hinge by moving its finger in different directions. If necessary, we put grease in the hinge and install a new boot.
If the tip hinge is out of order, the tip should be replaced.
Before removing the tip with a marker, mark its position relative to the rod or count the number of revolutions when unscrewing the tip. This is necessary so that when installing the tip, the length of the tie rod assembly with the tip remains the same, which will approximately maintain the toe angle of the wheel.
Rotating the tip counterclockwise, we turn it off the tie rod.
Left and right tie rod ends are not interchangeable.
The left tie rod end arm is marked "L" and the right tie rod end arm is marked "R".
Install the tie rod end in reverse order.
We screw the tip onto the rod to the marked position or counting the number of revolutions determined when removing the tip. Tighten the locknut of the handpiece to the prescribed torque (see Applications).
We replace the self-locking nut of the ball joint pin of the handpiece with a new one and tighten it to the prescribed torque (see Applications).
After installing the tie rod end, it is necessary to check and, if necessary, adjust the toe-in of the wheels on a special stand - at a service station.
Before adjusting the toe angles, remove the clamp securing the steering gear boot to the tie rod.
When the lock nut on the tie rod end is loose..
... we rotate the tie rod for the hexagon with the "13" key, adjusting the angle of convergence of the wheels.
The lengths of both tie rod assemblies with tips must be the same.
After adjustment, tighten the tie rod end locknut.
