My OEM tie rod adjustment sleeve has been damaged (cracked) and needs to be replaced so I can have my front end aligned after a front strut replacement.
I have never performed this job and it appears that I need to remove the outer tie rod, loosen the pinch bolt, and then unscrew the adjustment sleeve. I need to reverse the order to replace the adjustment sleeve and tie rod end.
Do you have any advice on this job? I am planning to leave threads on both sides to allow adjustment, but I cannot find any guidance on what exactly to do.
Can you assist?
