Ok, got the spindles and everything back on. Just one problem, the wheels are toeing outward bad! The tie rods won't come lose to adjust 'em. Is there any tips or tricks for this?
pb blaster.. got one side done.. and never finished the driver side lol.. since im not driving it the only time its moved is when its tied to a tow strap to my titan it doesnt really matter what way the wheels are pointing for that...
If your adjusters are rusted out like I think mine are, the easiest thing to do would be to replace the tie rod as a whole. You can pick up the inner tie rod, the adjusting sleeve, and the outer tie rod at your local Autozone. This way you can assemble the new stuff and just swap out the rusty stuff in one piece. You will just need a tie rod remover (pickle fork) which you can rent from Autozone too.
Got it figured out. We took a small propane bottle with a torch and heated them up. After a few minutes, they losened right up. Have pics of the new drop in my build thread.
One of my friend mentioned to me the other day that he was having a problem on the tie rod because it won't come out and loosen. Well, I haven't seen the tie rod that my friend is mentioning so I can't assume if they are already rusted. Anyway, I'm gonna let my friend know this suggestion if they are really rusted. But in case, they are still good, I'm gonna let my friend try this out to loosen the tie rod. Thanks for sharing this info by the way. Hopefully, we won't be needing to replace the whole tie rod.
