Replacing Inner tie rod ends?

Replacing Inner tie rod ends?

Added (1). the inner tie rod ends are worn on my 2003 honda accord and i know its important to replace but is a bit pricey since i also have a bad oil leak around spool valve filter i need to replace, the leak is bad. I work 2 jobs and my part time night job is a delivery driver so my question is if i fix the oil leak first would it be better to maybe rent a car till i can change the tie rods, or will it be ok ti drive. I don't want my wheel flying off obviously.

Take some electrical black tape and wrap it around the drag link threads where the tie rod is attached. Now you have a reference mark so when you put the new ones on you will be in the ball park until you get an alignment. Then take a tape measure from the outer tie-rod zerk fitting to the other zerk fitting. Now you know the total length you need when done. Use a puller or a pickle fork for removal. Torque the new nut to specs, grease it.

  • Where do i get rod bearings for a 1997 Prelude SH? I have a 1997 Honda Prelude Type SH, however the 1997 had 50mm rod journals as opposed to the 1998-2001 which had 55mm journals. Everywhere I've gone to or called has told me the bearings from 1997 to 2001 are all the same, which is not true. I have proof of the old bearings in my hands. I've tried Napa, Autozone, Oriellys, Jegs. I even called ACL and Clevite/Mahle and they still all believe the bearings are the same. Where do I get bearings for this car of mine.

  • How to tie lumber to the roof of my car? I have a honda odyssey, which is about 16 feet, 10 inches long. I want to transport 2 pieces of 16 foot long, 2" x 12" lumber. What is the safest way to secure these to the roof of my car? I can take back roads to and from the lumber storage place, so I will drive very slowly.
