The old LaSabre needs a little more TLC before PA state inspection.

what's the torque specs for the inner tie rod
I did this job a while back on my 99 Deville (Same exact set up). While you made a great video, I would suggest using a GM Inner Tie Rod Crimping Tool to crimp the new tie rod in place. Not sure if its absolutely necessary, but GM does it at the factory and I certainly don't want to be the one driving if this thing comes loose.
I also want to say that your video was very helpful thank you. I tried renting the kits from oreilys and autozone but they didn't have the right piece with them. Do you know which size the piece is? I found item # 69619 at harbor freight and I'm gonna head that way to pick it up if it's right?
Where can I get the removal tool?
Nice job Mike.
Nice dewalt toolbox.
Good video DM . Fan now . Never had FB either( I thought I was weird) What was the problem with inner t. Rod?
Very nice job in showing the steps involved in replacing the tie-rod-end Mike. Do you have a part number for the tool that you used to remove and install it? Maybe having the part number in the description can help other viewers know what you were using. Thanks Mike…
Very cool great video!
Very similar to how I do it on VW & Audi's… nice that the basics are similar for all makes & models!
Good job Mike. Good video !!
My method of refitting the tierod end is to mark the position of the lock nut on the old rack end and match it up to the new one on the bench..That way thread counts and number of turns doesn't matter…It works for me.
Did I see you win a scanner Danner book at etcg meet up?
great vid brother, cheers The Dizz
The tool does well, there's so many inner tie rod tools and styles. The replacement parts don't always match up like you shown good idea of two reference points. Cheers.
love that inner tie rod tool handy
Nice job DM. I hate it when my balls get rusty. I hope you fix them the same way I do. Preventative maintenance is the key to ward off rusty balls. Thanks for posting, big guy.
Morning Mike. Those new body rubbers really stand out now, all nice and clean. Your balls are rusty, that the Problem. lol Is that tie rod tool good for any vehicle? Nice work buddy.
