Ford inside tie rod R & R help? Sign In
I just removed the outer tie rod and in the process the inside tie rod pulled out. How do I re-position and re-insert the inner tie rod?

I'm not sure what you mean by "pulled out". The inner tie rod is bolted solidly to the rack and pinion.

To add; Takes a special socket to reinstall and tighten. (the socket is apprx. 18" long and a bit spendy)

Thank you, Loren, for your reply.

I was not familiar with the method of attachment. I was replacing the ball joints and tie rod end.
The inner rod felt excessively loose, and I thought I had done something wrong.

My pulse and blood pressure are back to normal now, so, thanks again.
