HOW DO I REMOVE/ INSTALL TIE RODS ON MY 93' INFINITI J30T???

[95-J30tt]

the outer tie rods or the inner ??

if the outer ones, then it is a simple job, you should be able to do finish it at home

take the tire out, locate the tie rod, spray both generously with liquid wrench or WD40, give the lubricant time to work into the threads (usually about an hour), remove the pin (you will need some needle nose plyers, and patiance), there is a locking nut at the end of the tie rod (it is there, you will need a wrench for that one, i couldnt belive it either, but it is there), remove the tie rod nut that holds the tie rod to the knuckle

count how many turns (counter clockwise) you will need to remove the old tie rod, match the length of the new one and the old one (should be the same), and install the new tie rod (clockwise, turning the same # of turns, mine was 32 or so i think), if you dont count the number of turns, the allignment will not be correct......

install the new tie rod to the knuckle, install the nut, install the pin (bend it and make sure that it wont come off), lock the nut at the end of the tie rod

do the same for the other side..... there might be some information that is not understandable at the moment, but once you are there, you will get it....

i hope this helps, please update
