Easy but take your time...not difficult at all. To make it easier to drive to the alignment shop it helps to get it close first....so this is what I did:
1. took old tie rods off 2. lined up old with new and adjusted them off the car to be the same length 3. the difference between the two new ones I noted, took the difference and then adjusted the new ones to be the same 4. adjusted the steering rack to be spaced equally on both ends (just move it side by side and measure until perfect) 5. install new tie rod ends When I did this my car tracked straight the first time out...was amazed. However, I did have to adjust my steering wheel. Obviously other owners adjusted the rack to keep the steering wheel straight versus adjusting the wheel (so I didn't really have equal turns from left to right). Have fun!...You will have much more feeling through the wheel and more precise steering. You will, however, feel the bumps more. Jim |
