Tie Rod Assembly: Inspection

  1. Inspect ball joints for pitting or wear. Check for damaged or deformed tie rod. Check boots for cracks or cuts.
  2. Check ball stud starting torque. Starting torque should be 4-22 INCH lbs. (.5-2.5 N.m). If ball joint starting torque is not within specification, replace tie rod end.
  3. Check for ball stud axial deflection. Deflection should be less than .06" (1.5 mm). Replace tie rod end if ball stud axial deflection is greater than specification.
