Front tie rod replacement
 

I'm ready to replace my front tie rods since both of them were seized so I couldn't get an alignment done. I am using the original boots...do I need to put any grease on the tie rods that the boot covers?

Thanks

um, inner or outer tie rods I'm confused.

That would be the inner portion of the tie rod. I just replaced mine a few days ago. There was very little, if any grease (whiteish color) on the rack or within the boot. I have no leaks and the boots are perfect so I can only assume they just needed a very light greasing. The hard part was putting the boots back on the rack. I used metal hose clamps but I think you'll find the passenger side very hard to access.

Thanks...I have everything dismantled to replace the axles so I have plenty of room to get the boot back on.

Sasquatch, it you didn't have leak why did you change it? was there any wear symptoms? For some reason I felt a little click when the car is not moving, very slight so I wonder if the tie-end rod has some play in it.
