Visual Compatibility: Before installation, perform a visual compatibility check. Measure the thread diameter (8mm) and verify if you require a right-hand or left-hand thread, as tie rods often use both types for adjustment.
Thread Care: Thoroughly clean the internal threads of the tie rod before inserting the new joints. A small drop of copper paste or mounting grease on the threads will prevent future seizing caused by moisture.
Alignment: After replacing the rod ends, the vehicle's toe-in/toe-out must be readjusted. Ensure that the wheels are parallel in the straight-ahead position (or slightly toed-in according to manufacturer specs).
Safety: Firmly tighten the lock nuts after adjustment and regularly check for tightness, as off-road vibrations can loosen the hardware.
