Removing Steering Tie Rod End

Model: Ford Mondeo / Fusion MK 1 - Years 1993-2000
Part: Control arm

To remove the ball joint attached to the end of the steering box's axial joint, raise the vehicle on suitable axle stands and remove the front wheel. Extract the safety pin from the nut securing the tie rod end to the hub support and undo the nut itself. Use a fork-type puller to remove the tie rod end from its seat (if this tool is unavailable, leave the nut threaded on a couple of turns and tap on it to extract the tie rod end). To complete the removal, loosen the lock nut behind the tie rod end and unscrew it, counting the number of turns to ensure the new one is fitted with the same number, minimising any change in alignment.

How to Check the Oil Level on a Jeep Renegade?

To check the oil level on a Jeep Renegade, you need to open the bonnet to access the components inside the engine bay: on the lower left side of the engine block, you will find the dipstick for checking the level. This should be pulled out and thoroughly cleaned with a cloth: once cleaned, reinsert it back into its tube and pull it out immediately after. This way, you can check that the oil mark is between the minimum and maximum levels; finally, you can place the dipstick back in its tube.
