Replacing the Tie Rod End of the Steering Rack

Model: Renault Scenic - Years 1996-2003
Part: Control arm

If you hear a noise coming from the front wheels, especially when starting to steer, it is likely that a ball joint at the end of the steering rack tie rod has failed. To replace the tie rod end, lift the vehicle and remove the front wheel to gain more working space. Before loosening the nut that secures the tie rod end, it is advisable to loosen the lock nut. Next, remove the nut and use a fork-type puller to extract the tie rod end, unscrewing it while counting the number of turns, and then screw in the new tie rod end the same number of turns, securing it with the lock nut and fastening it to the hub support. At the end of the installation, check the alignment.
