replacing the tie rod ends is pretty simple. This video shows how I diagnosed and repaired a problem with the outer tie rods on my 2000 Porsche Boxster S.

Great video's by the way.
After I crack the locking nut, I hand tighten it back to the tie rod. I then clamp a small jubilee clip up snug to the nut.. When you unwind the tie rod. the nut can unscrew but on replacement. hand screw it back to the jubilee clip then screw the tie rod back to the nut. You can be confident that the tracking will be as close to the original setting as you would hope to achieve.
Is it me or is it weird that you have to have the car realigned…how far can the locknut move..? Why can't you just count the number of turns the rod makes before its off before fitting an identical replacement…?
Thanks for your video it gave me the confidence to do mine today. I replaced the right outer end and it reduced the play by 90%. I will probably do the left side next payday.
Hi. Nice video. I think I need to change my tie-rods. Did your wheels slightly pull to the side when driving on road grooves then go back to normal when the road smoothens?
