Re: Inner tie r0d

you dont even really need to take off the tie rod ends to get the inner rods off.
take off that rubber boot, and then there should be this little white cover over where the ball join connects. push that little plastic cover back and you can see where it twist off.
do you have the new inner rod? if you do you can use it for reference
