Good video, but you should mention that you should torque the inner tie rods instead of just snugging it. At the alignment shop, it came loose. I had to re-do the repair. My car has a 61ft lb torque for the inner tie rods.
The first step, where you torqued the rod nut off without supporting the rod, all of the torque went onto the ball joint, which kept the rod from rotating. Always support the rod with another wrench while torquing off the rod nut, if you want to reuse the ball joint. With only one wrench, you will likely damage the ball joint.
I've watched this before, and it was very helpful. I came here to send this video to a buddy. But I noticed that the steering rack was busted leaking grease allover the brace bar.

Take a caliper use its depth rod an measure from threaded end of old inner tie rod back to jamb nut write that down.. install new inner and boot and set nut at that measurement finish remaining assembly get alignment
One thing though that utterly confuses me I just did the inner tyrod for our 2008 Toyota Highlander and every video I have seen shows that locking plate goes into 2 notches in the rack opinion and it's also on the ring itself when I dismantled mine none of that is there it's just a flat mating surface how does the inner tyrod stay tight
Question A1: So my steering wheel is going right by a little while driving. This was after replacing my cv axle and control arms replaced. So my question is do I need to go forward on the tie rod to get it back in lined? More insight would be great

The sheer savagery of how you removed that boot and the boot strap, prevented me from giving you anything - neither thumbs up, nor down. I know, from your other videos, that you're not THAT sloppy and frivolous with your customers' cars. Yet, it did surprise me quite a bit...

I just ordered inner tie rod on 1aauto and going to change it on my Toyota Avalon
And Thanks buddy for the great info

You can also use a pickle fork to separate joints as to not damage other parts

What's that big adjustable wrench you used on the tie rod nut? That thing looks real handy.

Awesome video!! Excellent explanation. Had to do this on my daughters 99 Lexus GS 400. Thank you for the A+ video.

Just to second, DO NOT HIT THE TOP OF THE NUT IF YOU MIGHT NEED TO USE THE PART AGAIN.
Destroyed a brand new moog part that way...
Very helpful video, much appreciated

Is the plastic lock of the boot practical at high temperatures?Thank you for the explanation. Please keep making the videos
I don't think that gets very hot down there.
thanks a lot, good video. all clear.
Super specific. Thank you

*Does the inner tie rod end of a '09 Camry fit a '04 Lexus Gs300? They look exactly the same*

Nice video, but do you really need to bang on it like that? One decent bang on the top is all you need.
isn't it safer to use a puller instead of some huge azz hammer which may also damage other parts and the fender?
Do a burnout in it
U do not torque the inner tierod before bending tabs?
