extension (5).
Using measurement made earlier, thread jam nut and
new rack ball joint to previous location on rack extension
and set jam nut hand tight.
Attach rack ball joint to spindle arm. Tighten castellated
nut (3) to 36 ft. lbs. (50 Nm) and continue to tighten as
needed to insert new cotter pin (2). Maximum torque is 50
ft. lbs. (70 Nm).
After replacing or servicing steering components,
always verify that an 1/8" gap exists between large
hex of rack extension and rack and pinion unit when
steering is turned fully to the right forcing passen-
ger spindle arm against front axle (Ref. Fig. 23).
Check for proper rack extension-to-rack and pinion unit
clearance before tightening jam nut (4) to 35 - 45 ft. lbs.
(47 - 61 Nm) torque. See “Checking/Adjusting Rack
Extension-to-Rack and Pinion Unit Clearance” on
page 33.

Grasp the tie rod (8) at ball joints (6) and check for any
vertical motion which would indicate a worn condition and
necessitate replacement (Ref. Fig. 14).
To remove tie rod, loosen wheels and lift and support
front of vehicle per SAFETY section.

Fig. 16 Tie Rod Replacement
Loosen jam nut (7) at threaded tube (8).To hold threaded
tube while loosening jam nut, use a wrench on the center,
flat section of tube (Ref. Fig. 14).
The tie rod has different threads on each end. The end
with
the flat area on the threaded tube has left hand
threads (clockwise to loosen) while the end
without
the
flat has conventional right hand threads (counter-clock-
wise to loosen) (Ref. Fig. 16).
Remove lock nut (10) until tie rod ball joint (6) threads are
protected. Using a ball joint separator as a lever, apply
pressure to ball joint and tap nut with plastic faced ham-
mer to release tie rod from spindle arm. Remove nut to
drop tie rod from spindle arm.
Unscrew tie rod ball joint and jam nut from threaded tube.
Measure exposed thread length.
Use measured length to position new
ball joint at same location.
Flat section towards end identifies
end with left hand threads
Measure threads showing for length to
position new ball joint at same location
