shogs Posted October 27, 2008 Report Share Posted October 27, 2008 Which way do the tie rods face? Up or down..or both lol. Can't remember and dont have a manual handy at this moment : /. Trying to get in a few minutes before dark but doubt it'll happen. I'll let you know how I like em once I get them on. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2001Stroker Posted October 27, 2008 Report Share Posted October 27, 2008 Up. They only go in one way. The holes and the rod ends are tapered to fit each other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shogs Posted October 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2008 Thanks I found a picture and ran out to try and get one ride in lol. There on but not on nearly tight enough. Is there a tool to hold the bolt from spinning or am I just supposed to put a bunch of pressure under the tie rod end. I've never put these on or taken them off easily lol. Any suggestions will be appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mjv420 Posted October 27, 2008 Report Share Posted October 27, 2008 If the bolt spins they're wore out, get new ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2001Stroker Posted October 27, 2008 Report Share Posted October 27, 2008 If the bolt spins they're wore out, get new ones. Not completely true. Brand new ones can still spin. Just lay a 2x4 across the face of them, and pop them with a hammer to make 'em seat. Make sure that you don't dent the face. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shogs Posted October 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2008 If the bolt spins they're wore out, get new ones. I did get new ones and they spin. I'll try the 2x4 trick...hopefully that works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, if that doesn't work, hold up real tight on the tie rod and zip the nut with an impact. Can't go wrong there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaosBanshee44 Posted October 27, 2008 Report Share Posted October 27, 2008 Impact is good way but you'll probably end up with the same problem when you go to take them off...lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
