I cannot find a tool that will fit this tie rod. Very liomited room to work with also. Have tried a crescent wrench and pipe wrench but just don't have the room. It is sitting on jack stand. This car was my pride! Towing and repair out of question.$$$ They also t-boned a palm tree causing a small buckle in the center post between frnt and rear doors. Any ideas on tie rod.

Most have a hex for a special socket to use. I checked Auto Zone's website and they show one that might work. In some cases, they may rent it. Worth a check?

Some are completely smooth where you almost have to use some type of pipe wrench.... One thing you can do to help a little is turn wheel all way to the opposite side that you are working on.... That will extend the inner tie rod end all the way out & give you a little more room to work with.........   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
