sir this was the best video on the subject. thank you. absolutely perfect. tools used, socket sizes, measurements, no filler or unrelated footage, great editing. thank you sir.
Thank you for clearly demonstrating the procedure.
Thank you for watching and for the support🙂
Great video. I’ve used UA-cam videos for almost all of my part changes. This is by far the best one, I like how you showed alternatives to using the tie rod tool. Clear, and aesthetically pleasing.
Most people take the outer off first but I like the idea of removing it as a unit so I can be sure of the length !! Watching this vid reassured me that I can keep as a unit ! Thanks !
Yes, it can be done both ways but yea i try to remove it all together so i have a good measurement to go with before assembling new ones
I really appreciate a good instructional video with out the extra unnecessary commentary!
Thank you🙂
Awesome video, straight to the point. Mine needs to be done and was going to take to the shop, I’m now gonna do it my self. Thank you sir.
Thank you🙂 so glad to be able to help..hope all goes well
Thank you so much!! I was nervous about doing it myself so I was gonna take it to our mechanic but this video gave me the confidence to do it myself! Great video!
Thats awesome...so glad to be able to help save u some money🙂...thank you for the support
@@backyardchevy328 you saved another one time and money! Thanks man! Your video was extremely helpful!
@@strangerdanger187 thank you🙂
Yeah, good video man ! I’m replacing my inner / outer and this was very helpful .
Thank you🙂
listen you are a life saver, Chevy uses two different types of outer Tie rods for this our year make and model. I had to slow your video and look at the model number for the outer tie rod and source one out at my local Oriellys. I will have a new video coming out pretty soon.
Thank you🙂 glad to be able to help👍
Great video. I've looked at several videos before this one and this is the one I'm using to do it myself. I liked the easy pace of instruction. Thanks
Thank you🙂 hopefully everything goes smoothly..good luck🙂
Excellent video. I have to remove my inner and outer tie rod as a unit and your step by step instructions and excellent description made it very clear. Thank you sir.
Thank you🙂
Informative and to the point. Wanted to just get a refresher before I go into it, didn't do that measuring trick last time and will this time.
Thank you🙂
@@backyardchevy328 no no, thank you sir!
This is the best video out there...Brilliant keeping them together....I only have one thing to add beings the front end parts are super light weight on these trucks....replace all the ball joints as well....Quality parts dont come on brand new trucks anymore
By far the best explanation and easiest procedure video out of them all. 😊

very helpful and informing thank you Backyard Chevy!
Doing this job this weekend great video and informational 👍
Bro hell yes thank you so perfect
Great video my friend. You saved me $1100
I was told by a mechanic need to replace this. This looks easier that I thought. I can only imagine what they would charge In the shops
Yea its not too bad...once u separate the tie rod from the knuckle its easier from there on.
Haha tires plus told me it’ll be close to a thousand for both inner and outer tie rods on both sides .
Great video and thank you for posting. I feel confident now.
Thank you🙂 thats great!
Well done, thank you for uploading this!
Great instructional video! Question, what is the best type of lube to use in the joint? Red? Or what?
Thanks in advance!
Nice Video now fix the Outer Axle Boot
Thanks, this was straightforward .
Thank you🙂
Good video, man! Thank you!
excellent. looks pretty straight forward.
Thank you🙂
Great video I subscribed
Thank you🙂 i really appreciate it
BADASS☆☆☆☆
do more please
Thank you🙂
Thanks. I would have liked it if you had mentioned a few comments about the right-side same operation. Is there any differences side-to-side? Are the threads on the other side the same or reversed? Are the outer tie rod ends reversible side-to-side? I’m guessing it’s important to get a wheel alignment at the end of the process?
You make very good points..i should of done that..thank you that will be helpful in my future videos...and the tie rods can go on either side same with the inners so yes they're reversible and the threads are same direction so you turn them the same direction to get em off...and yes even though it gets us close to the adjustment on the tie rods it had, its still always best to align the truck after
Awesome video man! What kind of grease is that?
good outer & inner tie rid replacement #👍 🇵🇰 but before opening the outer tie rod measure & mark the jam nut position & then measure & mark on the new outer tie rod & rotate the outer tie rod on inner tie rid till the marked position of nut reach # 🇵🇰
Great video man 👍
Excellent video man!
Thank you🙂 i really appreciate it
Whats the difference in inner tie rods? 18mm vs 22mm? I need to replace mine but I'm not understanding the difference or which to get. 2002 gmc sierra 2wd 4.8...
Great video! Thanks!!
Nice video. Your CV axle has seen better days though. Also seal leak looks like
Yea it was replaced after i noticed it while doing this video
What do u do if u just raised it 3 inches?...should tie rod match same length as old tie rod that was stock?
Awesome video. Thank you
Love it, thank you!
If my 06 Silverado has coil suspension in the front, is it the same process?
Great video man. I need to replace mines asap.
Thank you🙂 hopefully it makes it easier to do
@@backyardchevy328 yes sirrr..
Really, Really Good video!!
I took my truck to pepboys and once they told me the cost... Mayne your video makes it looks so easy may just try myself
If u do...hopefully all goes well, good luck🙂👍
@@backyardchevy328 looks pretty simple and down to the point lol I'll let u know how it goes lol
Thank you my man, I appreciate this. Saved me so much grief
Glad to be able to help🙂 thank you
@@backyardchevy328 I'm really enjoying the channel so far. Haven't gotten into too much, but your videos show so much that other UA-camrs do not; like exactly how to do the task step by step with a down to Earth explanation. You are a fantastic mechanic and UA-camr. I look forward to watching your videos. Thank you again!
@@Mahkwa thank you, i really appreciate..really means a lot🙂
Will this work in a Silverado 1500 hd 6.0
Great video. I need to change mine.
Thank you🙂
Thanks!
Is this the same or similar for the 2014-2018 generation?
Good job brother
Thank you🙂
¡Que bueno mi chingon! Gracias
Nice. I bought Napa chasis brand and the inner rod well not screw in. Threads are not the same. Now I have to take them back. Different brand or the way they fab the threads is off.
Yea i wonder if maybe they gave u wrong part number or if there was some manufacturing issue.
good video buddy.
great
thank you very much!
Thank you for the support🙂
Good video buddy thank you
Thank you🙂
Thanks for sharing
Thank you for the support
thanks totally saved my ass
Glad to be able to help🙂
TY!!!!!!!~!!!!!!!!
Boy. Mine are so tight if I used my adjustable (Cresent) wrench backwards like in your video is surely break mine.
I’m replacing mine soon and don’t know anything about tie rods. So all I need is the inner and outer for a complete repair?
Yes, the remaining piece in the middle is the rack and pinion steering unit
Backyard Chevy right on. Thank you
@@MrDaniel030 anytime
Well done ,very easy to understand, thank you
Thank you🙂
I know I’m going to need an alignment when I replace mine on my 04 Suburban but you mentioned the length from the center of the outer to the pice before the threads on the inner being 15 1/4 inches. Is that pretty close to being decently aligned? I only ask because there’s no point in matching the measurements on my old ones seeing that my alignment is horribly off.
Well every vehicle is gonna be different based on previous alignments..u can kinda put it to specs u have and try to get the adjustments as straight as possible for meantime if theyre that far off
I ordered a set of tie rods on Ebay. I noticed the outer tie rod did not have a zert fitting for adding grease. Should I trust it?
Well some tie rods come sealed and pregreased and yes they work fine like that as well
Instead of measuring it with a ruler I just a marker and measure the thread
Is this truck 2wd? Great video
Its a 4wd....thank you🙂
Would it be the same process for a 2003 GMC Savana? With a V6 Vortec engine?
Thanks
Yes the procedure would be similar
I'm going to use Mevotech HEAVY duty parts for a Chevy 1500 those work? Thanks man.
Yea they should be good parts..either that or the moog are my favorites
So my tire its eating or whatever you calli it more from the inside , a mechanic said it was the tie rod, will this solve the problem?
If ur tie rod is bad then yes that would cause ur tire to wear on inner edge because the tire will kinda point outward at the front..but yes youll definitely wanna do the alignment afterwards
I got 04 Chevy silverado 1500 z71 5.3 4x4 v8 vin letter T .need the right part number .had alignment done but toe is pushed to far out .so inner tierod is wrong or inner .please help need vehicle to get back forth to work..
Do u know if u have rack and pinion steering or the gear box steering..the lart numbers depend on what type of steering system u have...but if u have gear box steering itll be es3493 for outer tie rod..and es3488 for inner
I appreceate the information but when you tighten the locking nut your realy should have two wrenched you dont want to damage or bend the spindle bolt . I know its touchy but better safe thanks sorry I mean your are reolac8ng it for a reason .
Were you not able to put grease on the inner tie rod?
Those come prepacked with grease under the boot, the one i got is a non greaseable type.
@@backyardchevy328 it should have the grease nipple where you connected it. I can't send the pic here
@@backyardchevy328 The grease nipple for the inner tie rod is on the swaybar. Better hit it up quick or you'll be replacing it again.
better replace that cv axle next
nice job but you need a cv boot:):)
Thank you....lol yea its already been replaced
What were the part numbers for the tie rod you used?
The inner tie rod was es3488 and outer es3493...i also added the links in the description
Looks like you're in need of a new CV boot.
Lol yea that was replaced shortly after
I’m trying to buy the inners for my 99 Silverado but I saw two different sizes, 18” and 22 is there any difference between these two?
Well its 2 different thread sizes that thread into the steering rack..they make an 18mm thread and a thicker 22mm thread size
@@backyardchevy328 thanks for the info!!
@@LJimenez0185 anytime🙂
I dont have a grease gun any alternatives?
none that ive ever tried unfortunately
I hope you changed that CV AXLE
Yea it was changed shortly after
where can i buy the inner and outer rods for a 2000 chevy silverado ???
I got those at O'Reilly's auto parts, but im sure most any local auto parts store or even amazon will carry some
@@backyardchevy328 an they are both moog correct? Getting a set Friday after work along with a new steering gear box
@@sean.g4516 the inners were moog..the outers I wanted moog as well but they werent in stock
Far easier then FORDS.
Yo I thought the inners were gonna be pretty big but to my surprise, they are pretty small lol
lol yea, depends on vehicle on some they can be.
What kind of grease and grease gun ?
Basically any grease rated GC-LB would be appropriate for greasing it and they sell em in tubes for the grease gun..the one i have in grease gun at the moment is just wheel bearing and chassis grease..and i like the pistol grease gun makes greasing the fittings pretty easy.
Do I need an alignment after this?
Yes, its always best to get an alignment afterwards
@@backyardchevy328 thanks for the reply!
@@liljuanito123 glad to be able to help...thank you for the support🙂
What year is the truck
2003
CV boot needs replacing! Or change complete axle. Aftermarket parts are not too expensive.
Yes, its been replaced a while ago
I wouldnt put that brand of Tie Rod on my go-cart let alone my vehicle
Firestone quoted me $830 to do this lol
Wow lol hope that was at least including some quality replacement parts lol..even at that theyre about 200 plus labor 2-3 hours max which i guess theyre charging at 200 dollars an hour lol plus alignment at end
Me too 925$ after tax😄😄😄😄
Lmao my mechanic said “ 950 with the cheap parts” dnt want to know how much with the expensive ones 😂😂
That axle really needs a new boot there eh?
Yea it was replaced shortly after that video
