2pc Set: Front Inner Tie Rod Drag Links For E-Van E250 E350 Econoline SuperDuty

Tie-Rod End Outer Tie-Rod End Inner Tie-Rod End Some inner tie-rod ends contain a bolt and bushing. These tie-rod ends are threaded onto the rack. Since the rack is connected directly to the tie-rods, the rack replaces the center link in a parallelogram steering linkage Some inner tie-rod ends have a mirror-finished ball and a high-strength polymer bearing to ensure low torque, minimal friction, and extended life. A hardened alloy steel rod extends from the ball to the outer tie-rod end and provides maximum strength and durability Tie-Rod End Replacement Guideline: This useful tip applies to the exchange of tie rod ends and inner tie rods, which together form the so-called tie rod Note: Cleanliness is extremely important when working on the power steering. Incorrect work and contamination can lead to leakage and, in the worst case, to failure of the steering assistance 1.Lift the vehicle and dismount the front axle wheels 2.Spray the fastening nut of the tie rod end with rust remover and leave it on for a few minutes 3.Dismount the front underride guard 4.Loosen the fastening nut from the tie rod and remove it completely 5.Remove the tie rod end from the steering knuckle using an appropriate ball joint separator 6.Remove the clamp of the bellow on the steering gear 7.Push the bellow towards the tie rod end 8.Unscrew the inner tie rod from the rack 9.Clean the sealing face of the bellow at the steering gear 10.Clean the lug of the rubber contact surface of the ball joint in the steering knuckle Note:Always use new self-locking nuts and bolts for a reliable repair 11.Screw the new inner tie rod into the rack and tighten it with the tightening torque that has been specified by the vehicle manufacturer 12.Mount the bellow and close the clamps with the appropriate special tool Note:Incorrect mounting of the bellow can lead to corrosion of the rack: the steering gear starts leaking which can lead to a failure in the steering assistance 13.Secure the ball joint in the steering knuckle and mount the nut. Please observe the tightening torque suggested by the vehicle manufacturer Note:During mounting, the ball stud should not turn within the ball joint. This can cause damage inside the ball joint and can lead to early failure Tip:Secure the ball stud against twisting with a suitable tool 14.Mount the front underride guard 15.Mount the front wheels and tighten them with the tightening torque recommended by the vehicle manufacturer 16.Align the wheels and adjust them if necessary.
