• Q: How to Service and Repair a Tie Rod End on 2008 Chrysler PT Cruiser?

  A: Before performing any work on the outer tie rod end, support and raise the vehicle and remove both the wheel mounting nuts and the tire and wheel combination. Take off the lock nut holding the tie rod and slide the inner tie rod up by the collar so it pulls off the outer one. After that, hold the stud on the end of the tie rod with a wrench and safely remove the nut that attaches the tie rod to the knuckle with a standard or crowfoot wrench. Use the MB991113 Special Tool Remover to set the tie rod end free from the tie rod end at the knuckle before you remove the outer tie rod and the heat shield. When pulling apart the tie rods, note how many times you turn the outer rod so that it lines up well with the inner rod and wheel alignment can be set according to the specifications. In the end, detach the outer tie rod from the inner tie rod.
