How to Remove and Install a Tie Rod End on a Toyota MR2?

Turn the wheel lug nuts to the point where there is some tension but do not take them off, proceed to lift the front of the car and support it with jackstands and then take off the front wheel. Remove the jam nut used to lock the tie-rod end on the tie-rod, and apply clear paint to the thread so as to match with the thread on the new tie-rod end. If yes, take out the cotter pin; then, to undo the tie-rod end stud, free the castellated nut.

It is recommended that the toe-in be set on an alignment lift once the tie-rod is installed, one should take the car to a dealer service department or a shop that does alignments.

Toyota MR2 Tie Rod End

The Toyota MR2 Tie Rod End connects the steering system to the steering knuckle. The unit transmits the driver's wheel input to the front wheels so that they pivot accurately. The inner Tie Rod End on every Toyota MR2 connects directly to the end of the rack gear. An outer Tie Rod End connects to the steering knuckle. Together, the inner and outer units form the only linkage needed in a rack and pinion system. The inner section moves together with the rack while the outer section has a pivot that allows the wheel assembly to rotate to maintain the stability and alignment of the vehicle on the road when it turns. Proper lubrication inside the Tie Rod End ball joint minimizes friction. The compact structure allows the Toyota MR2 to help give smooth steering response, reliable return, and predictable handling at varied speeds. The steering component known as a Tie Rod End wears out over time. A worn Tie Rod End could introduce looseness or binding into the steering of your Toyota MR2. Therefore, be sure to keep every linkage component in good condition to dictate directional changes with precision.
