Steering Rack Tie Rod End Replacement

Model: Lexus IS MK 2 - Years 2005-2013
Part: Control arm

The failure of the tie rod end of the steering rack is a fairly common fault as the ball joint is constantly in operation. Lift the vehicle on a ramp and remove the front wheel. Remove the safety clip from the ball joint pin and undo the securing nut. Use a fork puller to extract the tie rod end and loosen the lock nut on the tie rod to complete the removal of the end, noting the number of turns. Screw on the new tie rod end with the same number of turns, tighten the lock nut and secure it to the hub support. After installation, it is recommended to have the alignment checked.
