Inner & Outer Tie Rod Ends: Notes
CAUTION:
Tie rod adjuster parts often become rusted in service. In such cases, it is recommended that if the torque required to remove the tie rod clamp nut from the bolt/screw after breakaway exceeds 80 INCH lbs. (9 N.m), discard bolts/screws and nuts. Install NEW bolts/screws and nuts having the same part number to ensure proper clamping at specified tie rod clamp nut torque.
NOTE:
Count the number of turns required to remove the inner or outer tie rod end from the tie rod adjuster tube for reassembly reference.
