  Q: How to replace the outer tie rod end in the power steering rack and pinion system on Chevrolet Silverado 3500 Classic?

  A:

  The first step to replace the outer Tie Rod End in power steering Rack And Pinion systems requires users to raise their vehicle securely with suitable safety stands. First disconnect the tire assembly along with the wheel before removing the torque prevailing nut which fastens the outer tie rod stud. To detach the outer tie rod assembly from the Steering Knuckle, loosen the jam nut on the inner tie rod assembly and use the steering linkage and tie rod puller (J 24319-B). The technician should separate the outer tie rod assembly from the inner tie rod assembly. Begin tie rod assembly insertion into the inner rod by first connecting components but do not fasten the jam nut . Position the tie rod seal onto the outer tie rod assembly then fasten the assembly onto the Steering Knuckle. Apply the torque prevailing nut to the outer tie rod stud until it reaches a torque of 50 nm (37 ft. Lbs.). The Rack And Pinion boot must not be twisted after toe adjustment and wheel alignment should be checked.
