Success! Bother inner and outer tie rods changed. Took about six hours from Wheels off to wheels back on. I didn’t use my pipe wrench instead I used my vice grips to turn the jam nut. Also used the lighter , cooked it for a few minutes then twisted it loose. Since my inner tie rod were round I had to buy a cal van inner tie rod tool to get it off. The grease on both inner rods were yellow like mayo. Smelled nasty too.

i got my inner tie rods came with grease , a new jam nut and loctite! any ways quick question . imma put some loctite (unless told otherwise)on the inner tie rod on the thread part that screws into the steering rack , also on the jamnut but what about the outer tie rod? i searched online and some say yes , some say not to . need your opinion.

btw still haven’t gotten another go at taking that jam nut off , i got a 8in pipe wrench but can already see it’s not going to work out but i do have some vice grips . i don’t have a gas torch but maybe a standard lighter will help a little ha!

wonder if it’s do able to have different inner and outer rod brands ? i want to get beck and arnley inner tie rod.

http://www.rockauto.com/catalog/moreinfo.php?pk=4169856&cc=1374566 (beck) but doesn’t have any specs like the raybesto has so not sure whats the thread sizes on both ends.

http://www.rockauto.com/catalog/moreinfo.php?pk=1032101&cc=1374566 (raybesto).

you guys think i should get the raybesto and play it safe? i could always call rockauto to verify if the beck/arnley thread sizes happen to be the same, if they are should i get it?

i tried that but then the ball joint on the tie rod would still move around. i put a wrench on the tie rod itself so it wont actually move around and still nothing.
