Steering Rack Tie Rod End Replacement

Model: Fiat Punto MK 2, 188 - Years 1999-2011
Part: Control arm

To replace the tie rod end attached to the end of the steering rack, lift the vehicle on a lift and remove the front wheel for better access (though this can be done without removing it); start by loosening the lock nut that holds the tie rod end in place, then unscrew the nut securing the ball joint of the tie rod end to the hub support; use a fork puller to detach the tie rod end and unscrew it from the tie rod, counting the number of turns; screw the new tie rod end on with the same number of turns, secure it to the hub support, and tighten the lock nut; in any case, it is advisable to check the alignment on a bench.
