When I go over a hill (one you can almost catch air going 60 mph) I hear a clunk on the drivers front as the truck (2005 f150 4x4) crests the hill. I had upper control arms, 4x4 actuator replaced by a mechanic before this.
I have a 2014 Dodge ram 1500 I drove it to work one morning power steering is fine got in it at lunch and I had no power steering turn the wheels and it was real hard any tips on what I might need to do to my rack and pinion or whatever it may be
I rarely comment, but this absolutely deserves a great comment. Thank you for the clear explanation and camera view. You build the confidence for me people like me who is a complete novice to challenge this work in a DIY situation.
problem is this is not really a diagnose because it is OBVIOUSLY knocking and easy to spot, problem starts when everything feels and looks tight but car is thumping , then real Diagnose starts
Matthew 6:19-21 NKJV "Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal; [20] but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. [21] For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
This is really cool. I've had what I would describe as a knocking sound for the last 2 years in my car and no one could tell me what it was. I'm so glad I found this video because I just noticed a few days ago that my tire moves exactly how his did in the start of the video. I'm super excited it's not something way worse. The best person to fix things is yourself. So glad I found this video!!! I replaced my cv joint hoping that was it and it didn't go away. Now I'm fairly confident it's the tire rod end
Nice to see Andy uses the TLAR (that looks about right) method that most of us non-pros have been using because of the lack of specialized tools in the tool box. Thanks guys! Dave J
Not stupid at all. If you don’t know then you don’t know. Tie rod is what help steer your vehicle. Driveshaft is what help make the vehicle go. It’s inserted into your transmission, and from your transmission to your rear end/axles
I'm no expert but the damage on that front panel looks like it might have something to do with why there's noise on that side I counted 18 turns btw of the outer tierod jus sayin lol
I alway appreciate you guys doing this for us DIY people lol. I have a question. I drive a Chevy cobalt 2008 and Its a really good car but lately everything time I break my Steering wheel start to shake viciously. I had the rotator changed a couple months ago. I'm still feeling that vibration. Any Idea what it can be?
Wheel bearings , or stabilizer rods, probably wheel bearings Cheap fix your self use thick grease. Oh yes replace them if it is it. Do check ball joints too.
I have a 02 Pontiac firebird I put my outer tie rod on exactly as you did, but when I put the tires back on & tried too drive, I noticed a humping feeling so I backed my car back in the driveway, what could be the problem Now?? SCR.
Watched a few of these, they’ve been great. Also got this to do on my Edge Sport. Intermittent clack coming from front going over sharp humps. Jacked it, checked it, inner tie rod.
Excellent video. I get a popping noise when turning either way. My wheel also shakes from side to side which suggest inner & outer tie rod on both sides. But the noise sounds like it is coming from my rack. My guess I need to change out the Rack & pinion. I've changed out the upper ball joints.
I used to cycle, racing bike. When the bearings in the headset of the handlebars got worn you can feel a kicking and bumping - the feeling through the steering from tie rod ball joint wear feels almost the same to me.
Protip for the boot if it's too tight or hard to get on. Fold it around the edge and unfold it onto the rack before ziptying. Make sure it's seated correctly first of course.
Great guide. Question, Possible cause of a rhythmic noise at low speed going forward but not backward on a 2005 GMC Yukon XL all wheel drive. I wish I could add the sound. It does not seem to be a wheel bearing sound. It's more similar to rubber sole shoe crunch on a shiny tile or wood floor.
I am currently having issues with new ball joints failing after a week of driving I’ve already gone thru 2 oem ball joints both have failed when I remove them they are loose with all sorts of play like if they have been in there for 10 years so I’m not sure what’s going on I put in an oreillys brand since Honda would give me 1 replacement and I also replaced my outer tie rod not sure what’s going on
My lower control arm looks just like that one (I have a Pontiac G6). I hear a pop from the front end when I accelerate from a stop. I've replaced all the brake, steering and suspension parts. All that's left is the rack and possibly a motor mount.
I have a 2004 Pontiac Aztek and I just recently replaced all the front suspension including the axles, wheel bearings, brake system, inner and outter tie rods, struts, upper and lower control arms. I also replaced the rear springs. This fixed all noises and gave me the stock height back as well. Nothing like a new suspension.
The wheels on my 2001 Honda Accord stick out about an inch too far. This causes premature wear and tear on the tie rod bushings. I change them regularly so they don't come apart or thump. Parts are cheap too. The rims ARE kool though.
What ever happened to a book on your ride ? A manual that explains how to do ? Thats how i fix all my rides. Im self taught. Ps if your tie rod broke you can't drive it there's no steering Tie rods steer the wheels
I have that same torque wrench. Its good but i hate that it doesnt reverse. Especially since a lot of lug nuts these days are those crappy 2 piece ones that swell so it can be a PITA to get the sockets off sometimes
Interesting timing my mechanic told me I needed new tie rods almost two weeks ago. We're now planning to get them replaced. Definitely been hearing thumping noise.
My thoughts exactly. Then when he started doing the repair i noticed the inner and outer looked new, as well as the brakes and a couple other parts. The replacement outer tie rod end that was done before the new one was a greasable one but whoever did it didnt put the zerk fitting or a little bolt instead of a grease fitting leaving the hole open and exposed for crap to get into the tie rod end. Probably never greased it either so its not a surprise that it failed fairly soon. The jam nut was still shiny so good indication it wasnt that old/replaced fairly recently
I identified the thumping noise in a 2500 dodge ram in 10 min. Poor fellow spend $1,600.00 at 3 separate shops and NONE could identify nor fix the problem.... Parts and labor $100.00 cost him
I brought a 2017 Chevy Trax from Enterprise Car rental in November 2022. I now have a thumping sound and it sounds like it's on the front passenger tire. It has not been a year in my possession. Can I take it back to the because this video looks expensive. 😅😮😂😮
Andy, Great video Bro 😉. Is it safe to drive with a worn outer tie rod ball joint (up and down movement in the ball joint) and growling wheel bearing on the same side wheel until I can afford to get them replaced? Thanks, Mike
Wow. This guys voice is really relaxing 😮 ive always hated learning how to work on cars (even growing up my dad made me help him in his garage) Id pay to have my car fixed but service is too expensive for my wallet. This was actually fun and calming to watch

Hey, it is a great idea to give the TORQUE SPECS INFO. Good video still.
How does the inner tie rod cause your truck to shake in the steering wheel at high speeds ....? Just recently changed out both inner and outer and it started vibrating at high speeds, tire are balanced. It makes rapid repetitive shake, almost feels like I have a flat tire .. Any advice on what to do would be appreciated.
From a stop to start clank. Sounds from my recent brake work. I had trouble but I was sure I checked things ...I have a feeling I need to also change the axle again. Am really tired of fixing myself. When I tried a professional I am not getting the help I need
I had a Ford that was making a thumping noise checked everything nothing was loose I find out later I had a broken spring on my strut when it broke you couldn't tell it made the spring shorter so when you went over bumps
Grabbijg the wheel at 9 and 3 oclock can also give a little (like mayhe 1/8") because the steering rack has a little play. One person needs to shake all locations of wheel as another closely looks whats actuslly moving with a little play.
Im hearing a noise coming from one of my tires , I took it to the dealer and they diagnosed it and told me it could be the tires . I changed the 4 tires and still I’m hearing the noise at certain speed …
I have same problem with my focus mk2 but my mechaning says its the steering rack not tie roads but its expensice to change not worth it should i replace the tie roads ??
Do you guys have any videos about panel removal/repair/replacement curious and thankfully don’t need to fix and panels atm but would like a video example
Got a question woundered if u all could help me out dont trust anyone else but 1A auto anyways got to change a oxygen sensor on 97 Geo prizm lsi 1.8L the bottom before the bottom of the motor and wounderin if u have a video on how to change that if not its alrt love ur videos helped me out so much so many times have a good one
Great, thorough tutorial. Thanks. Don't forget the locking pin on the inner tie rod. It goes thru a little hole on the nut. We saw it break off the old one when he took it off.
I am by no feat a mechanic but that coder-pin bend and cut just made me panic a little I ALWAYS bend both sides as far as they go and leave them. I have never seen someone cut them or bend them like that

Can i put a door from 2013 nissan sentra sv on to a 2017 nissan sentra sv??
What brand is the Torque Wrench? ...and part number may be?
All I need is a lift in my driveway.
I have a 2014 Dodge ram 1500 I drove it to work one morning power steering is fine got in it at lunch and I had no power steering turn the wheels and it was real hard any tips on what I might need to do to my rack and pinion or whatever it may be
Man that torque wrench is loud
Bro, forget the tie rod, you totaled your truck
I rarely comment, but this absolutely deserves a great comment. Thank you for the clear explanation and camera view. You build the confidence for me people like me who is a complete novice to challenge this work in a DIY situation.

The camera person did a great job on filming this video. Good lighting, great sharpness, and zoom close enough for the details.
These videos are so clear and full of great tips that they make me feel super confident to tackle the problem myself.

A good clear explanation with demonstration on how to replace both inner and outer tie rod ends. Thank you.
Man that camera shot in the beginning is a great idea! It makes it easier for people with not much technical knowledge understand.
This is really cool. I've had what I would describe as a knocking sound for the last 2 years in my car and no one could tell me what it was.

I like when this guy demonstrates, he's def. my favorite of the team
Andy's gotten very much better at it.
Sue is my favourite.
Frankly, though, they are all great at it. (Sue, Len and Andy).
Nice to see Andy uses the TLAR (that looks about right) method that most of us non-pros have been using because of the lack of specialized tools in the tool box. Thanks guys! Dave J
I see that your torqueing the lug nuts, but you never said what foot lbs you are torqueing too???😊
Maybe a stupid question but whats the difference between a tie rod and a drive shaft?
Not stupid at all. If you don’t know then you don’t know. Tie rod is what help steer your vehicle. Driveshaft is what help make the vehicle go. It’s inserted into your transmission, and from your transmission to your rear end/axles
I'm no expert but the damage on that front panel looks like it might have something to do with why there's noise on that side I counted 18 turns btw of the outer tierod jus sayin lol

Could be the control arm bushings.
Wheel bearings , or stabilizer rods, probably wheel bearings
Cheap fix your self use thick grease. Oh yes replace them if it is it. Do check ball joints too.
I'd say either one of your calipers are going bad or wheel bearings. Make sure you replace both sides even if one side is bad.
Very pleased with the video but what is a "JAM or JAMED NUT ".
A "jam nut or a lock nut" locks down a threaded rod- usually with a wrench.
A second nut tightened onto the first nut locking the both in place. Also goes by buddy nut or pal nut
0:29 my first thought : "that'll buff right out"
I never fix totalled Fenders... But if I hear a noise in the suspension.. I always get right on it.
I have a 02 Pontiac firebird I put my outer tie rod on exactly as you did, but when I put the tires back on & tried too drive, I noticed a humping feeling so I backed my car back in the driveway, what could be the problem Now?? SCR.
Watched a few of these, they’ve been great. Also got this to do on my Edge Sport. Intermittent clack coming from front going over sharp humps. Jacked it, checked it, inner tie rod.
Nice job and well explained, where did you get your Torque Wrench? And for how much?
Goto Harbor Freight for these. They are around $40 and last a long time. I've had mine for about 8 years.
How do you narrow it down from tie rod vs wheel bearing?
Always nice to see another example of a clearly bad part.
Good job were soy nuevo en tu canal que Dios Los bendiga y tu Familia
What kind of camera did you use to record inside the wheel well?
Great video just in time for me. I feel blessed to have run across this video today.
Excellent video. I get a popping noise when turning either way. My wheel also shakes from side to side which suggest inner & outer tie rod on both sides. But the noise sounds like it is coming from my rack. My guess I need to change out the Rack & pinion. I've changed out the upper ball joints.
I used to cycle, racing bike. When the bearings in the headset of the handlebars got worn you can feel a kicking and bumping - the feeling through the steering from tie rod ball joint wear feels almost the same to me.
Will the zip tie for the boot last a long time?
2:42 "all you have to do is grab the inner tie rod and hold it still while someone else shakes the wheel"
Protip for the boot if it's too tight or hard to get on. Fold it around the edge and unfold it onto the rack before ziptying. Make sure it's seated correctly first of course.
Why didn't you grease the shaft of the tie rod?
Why does my 2008 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 2wd keep braking my hub bearing since I lifted it 7.5 inches ?????????
Great guide. Question, Possible cause of a rhythmic noise at low speed going forward but not backward on a 2005 GMC Yukon XL all wheel drive. I wish I could add the sound. It does not seem to be a wheel bearing sound. It's more similar to rubber sole shoe crunch on a shiny tile or wood floor.
maybe the problem is related to the impact of the vehicle

I like your tutorial videos because not everyone has the tools for everything and you have to manage very well👍
15:42 like earned for that cotter pin handling
Could a inner tire rod make clunk/pop noises?
Sway bar link?
Control arms definitely make a clunking noise, especially over bumps.
The wheels on my 2001 Honda Accord stick out about an inch too far. This causes premature wear and tear on the tie rod bushings. I change them regularly so they don't come apart or thump. Parts are cheap too. The rims ARE kool though.
Your paying the price for looking cool. Me i change the tires to correct size, tires are costly.
Dude the production value of these videos is super impressive. Oh and they're helpful too
Completely and good explanation very informative..thanks you..
How about Wheel Bearing issues? How do yiu find out its the hub bearing
I think my tire rod broke 2 days ago and you show me how to fix it
What ever happened to a book on your ride ? A manual that explains how to do ? Thats how i fix all my rides. Im self taught.
Ps if your tie rod broke you can't drive it there's no steering
Tie rods steer the wheels
@@joebuba7186 thanks brother I'm trying to self teach with help from you all
It's good to see Matthew Lillard getting work these days
Has anyone experienced a low thumping noise while idling? I just heard this noise for the first time. Like something is hitting it underneath
Surprised you guys didn't use an inner tie-rod removal tool or use one to torque it down with a proper torque wrench when re-installing.
I have that same torque wrench. Its good but i hate that it doesnt reverse. Especially since a lot of lug nuts these days are those crappy 2 piece ones that swell so it can be a PITA to get the sockets off sometimes
On some cars there is a locking washer that prevents the inner tie rod from coming loose. Either way, I would still use lock tite.
you don't torque the lugnuts to 165 foot pounds for a midsize passenger car like the techs at Firestone do, when the specs call for 80 ft pounds?
You DON'T torque the wheel when they are on the ground and the vehicle is weighing on them.
You torque them down while in the air
LOL what a stupid comment!!!! You torque it down on the ground and no more then 100 foot pounds.
Could the thumping noise also come from the cv axle where the protector is ripped and there isn't much grease in there ?
Can u show how steering rack sound when in bad shape?
What's happens when the rotor keep moving and the car makes cracks sounds and get stuck when u move
Some inner tie rods actually have a pin you have to remove before you can take the tie rod off
I want to invent a movable lift fhat doest cost as much as a car. 600$ at 🎉most.
ADHD for sure. he keeps moving that tire over and over and over,
How can you tell if it's inner or the steering rack.
Interesting timing my mechanic told me I needed new tie rods almost two weeks ago. We're now planning to get them replaced. Definitely been hearing thumping noise.
I am sure that passenger front side impact didn't help the tie rods either. Good video.
My thoughts exactly. Then when he started doing the repair i noticed the inner and outer looked new, as well as the brakes and a couple other parts. The replacement outer tie rod end that was done before the new one was a greasable one but whoever did it didnt put the zerk fitting or a little bolt instead of a grease fitting leaving the hole open and exposed for crap to get into the tie rod end.

I brought a 2017 Chevy Trax from Enterprise Car rental in November 2022. I now have a thumping sound and it sounds like it's on the front passenger tire. It has not been a year in my possession. Can I take it back to the because this video looks expensive. 😅😮😂😮
Or could be because you bought a Chevy
Andy, Great video Bro 😉. Is it safe to drive with a worn outer tie rod ball joint (up and down movement in the ball joint) and growling wheel bearing on the same side wheel until I can afford to get them replaced? Thanks, Mike
I think I have a bad tie rod. As the wheels are turning, it sounds like a washing machine on spin cycle. I hear that at 25 mph and higher.
Wow. This guys voice is really relaxing 😮 ive always hated learning how to work on cars (even growing up my dad made me help him in his garage) Id pay to have my car fixed but service is too expensive for my wallet. This was actually fun and calming to watch
Hey, it is a great idea to give the TORQUE SPECS INFO. Good video still.
Well it happened, get over it. Take a pill and lie down.
How does the inner tie rod cause your truck to shake in the steering wheel at high speeds ....?
Just recently changed out both inner and outer and it started vibrating at high speeds, tire are balanced. It makes rapid repetitive shake, almost feels like I have a flat tire ..
Any advice on what to do would be appreciated.
"Torque to spec" does *not* mean you can go round each one again to make the noise again, you're now torqueing it *past* spec.
Might want to visually check that fender. I think it's related! 😂😂 jk man. Good video.
From a stop to start clank. Sounds from my recent brake work. I had trouble but I was sure I checked things ...I have a feeling I need to also change the axle again. Am really tired of fixing myself. When I tried a professional I am not getting the help I need
brother please put the video for commercial vehicle
Process is easy but videos like these aren't that useful. Give me the space, tools, a lift, and then we'll talk.
I had a Ford that was making a thumping noise checked everything nothing was loose I find out later I had a broken spring on my strut when it broke you couldn't tell it made the spring shorter so when you went over bumps

love your product .. But I am form Canada, you guys don't ship to Canada !!..
Excellent job you are a legend
Great, thorough tutorial. Thanks. Don't forget the locking pin on the inner tie rod. It goes thru a little hole on the nut. We saw it break off the old one when he took it off.
In the thumbnail you look a little like the guy in the movie The Hills Have Eyes. You know the good looking one.
