Just got done replacing tie rods. It would have been a lot easier if the person who installed the last set didn't use red loctite where the outer and inner join. I was so tempted to just cut the end off, but I thought that if they also used red loctite on the rack connection, I'd be screwed. So, I successfully disconnected the rack connection first. Had to put tie rod in vise, torch, and use about 100 pounds of force to break it loose.

What would be symptoms if this being bad. ? I have replaced my entire feont suspension. And I have a wheel shake on bumps or rough road that didn't go away.

That sway bar has seen better days

[@gmdaddyrocks7730]

Do you need to grease the joint before putting on the new boot?

[@MrGadgt]

Where did you get the replacement boot from?

[@johnsn10]

Is the truck in neutral during this

[@benblanco9142]

Should we get a alignment after this?

[@dathanjackson2743]

Yes

[@DuhByrd]

Is there a specific tightness or just snug and plus a quarter turn?

[@TRQ]

+DuhByrd When tightening the jam nut there is not a specific tightness, just be sure it is snug.
