If the vehicle experiences steering instability, you need to replace the tie rods. Lift the vehicle, secure it, and remove the wheels. Remove the clamps from the rubber boots protecting the tie rods. Next, unscrew the nut holding the tie rod to the wheel assembly, and then unscrew the nut on the tie rod connecting it to the steering box. At this point, you can remove the tie rod. Install the rubber boots on the new tie rods, replace the metal seals with new ones, and reinstall the tie rods, securing the rubber boots with hose clamps.
