Help,
I've had a new inner tie rod (eyebolt) sitting on the shelf for along time. Today after finishing oil/valve adjustment, thought why not? (big mistake?) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) Any of you done this on the car before? Manual says turn the bellows holder with a hook spanner (currently not part of my tool supply). Those of you who have done the turbo tie rod thing were you able to turn the eyebolt out without undoing the bellows holder? This is one of the few things that I have not taken apart during my ownership. Thanks for any insight (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif) |

RAR,
Before I took the other eyebolt off I marked it in relation with a vertical line and the floor. I transfered that mark to the new part and the rest is history. I saw the jig in the manual. Pretty hard for me to duplicate that and do this with the rack in the car (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Type47 thanks for the link! Test drive last night went very well!! Steering had a slight vibration now it's rock solid (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mueba.gif) Thanks to all |
