Auto Repair Video Site

So guys welcome to my Autorepair Post. Ok so today we will be discussing, how to fix a wobbling front wheel. This video is actually for 97′ Ford Explore model. However, more or less working of every vehicle likely to be same. Following video, is to show you how you can fix a front driver side wheel, which is moving back forth horizontaly.

Its actually a very simple procedure if you know how to loosen a nut and again tighten it. Dave did this very easily even he not a professional auto engineer. Like like him you can also fix the wobbling wheel.

Hey its Dave. I am working on 97 Ford Explorer. Its got a wrecked steering and loosen inner tire rod. If you look at driver side tire, the driver side tire can move back and forth than the apparently of the passenger side. That’s just because of loosen inner tie rod on the rack side. The inner tire rod is right here. It connects the rack and pinion inside the bellows boot. I am gonna shake the tire again, watch the bellows boot. You can see that the inner tie rod is loose and its moving around. Loosen the jam nut first between the outer tie rod and inner tie rod. That was too easy. We will move the quarter pins from the outer tie rod and then remove the nut. The best way to loosen the outer tie rod from the steering knuckle without damaging the boot is to hit it right here with the hammer.

Now to makes it a little bit easier on the alignment when I remove the outer tie rod from the inner, i am gonna count the rotations as I remove it. Remove the jam nut from the inner tie rod. The bellows boot has the clamps on the inside and outside and they both need to be removed. Easier, set them done sometimes. The inner clamp on bellows boot is not reusable so has to be damaged to be removed. Now you can twist the bellows boot and slide it off.

Now you can see the inside of the inner tie rod, has a hacks on it. You cant put a wrench on it and take it off if you have to. But for that you have to use a different tool. This is an inner tie rod tool. You can fit a half inch wrench on one end. The other has the different adapters like these ones, that you can put in the end of it, so then will fit with inner tie rods.

Put the adapter on, slide this in, lock it and spin it off. Comparing the old and new part make sure you got the right one, its got the same thread, same overall. Make sure you throw away the loose one, keep the tight one. Now apply the blue thread locker to the thread inside the tie rod. Now i am gonna reinstall. There is wind tube at the bottom of the rack and pinion that has to be aligned with the hole and the bellows boot.

Once you get your zip tight and you are out of clamp in place you can re install the jam nut attach the outer tie rod. Count the revolutions again and do the same number of turns. Reconnect the outer tie rod to the steering knuckle, reinstall the nut. Install a new quarter pin. Snug the jam nut, reinstall the wheel and then you are ready for driving.
