yea thats what i was thinking that the nut is only hand tight but the little bugger wont budge his stubborn ***. If i used a lighter and held that on for like a minute you think that would do any good? (dont keep a torch handy and cant drive)

 

lol. i did mine like 2 month ago. well i was doing it with my friend and he did the tie rods and i did the control arms. but ya do what bogie said, look at the threads

 

This could haunt you now...

 

o wow lol

 

haha!!! now whose gonna out this in their signature [:-]

 

yeah mine took some force when I did it. Just keep PB Blasting and working it. Patience and some muscle are your best friends here..... it will happen.

 

Hey got done installing but i have two problems now.

1.) When I turn the wheel as far as it will go to the left it will start clicking/jumpingreally really hard.

2.)The wheel doesn't correct itself anymore. (meaning it doesn't go back straight after making a turn)

Are these signs that I jacked up my car?
Did I install it wrong or could i possibly have jacked up the inner tie rod or something?

Any help would be appreciated.

 

I'm not really too sure, but could be you just need an alignment. If you didn't measure exactly how far our old TRE was in, you will need to be re-aligned.

 

Yeah you probably didn't count how many turns it took to take off the old tie rod end, (usually about 21-22 turns) You have to put the new one on in that amount of turns as well, you need an alignment for sure, the toe is probably way out.

 

Okay I will get an alignment. Any recommendations? Is there anybody better than the stealership?
