    Inner Tie Rod Replacements

    Hello Everyone,

    I had my Pajero fail the e-safety check which they said was due to excessive movement in tie rods. The mechanic pointed me to the tie rod on the right hand side. When the wheel was lifted he showed me the freeplay when moving the wheel left to right. It looks like it's the inner tie rod as there is no freeplay at the outer end rod.

    I'm looking at replacing it myself but I see all the guides use a tie rod removal tool. One which you slip over the inner tie rod end but I don't have one of these. Does anyone know if it's required or can be hired from any shop?

    Thanks,

    I have an NM pajero.

      2 hammers or a hammer and dolly, tie rods aren't usually that hard to separate.
      Don't forget to get w wheel alignment when your done.
