Hi All,
With the weather finally warming, I'm looking to jump back into my truck and was going to overhaul a lot of the front components, (mostly suspension stuff). But I was also going to replace both the inner and outer tie rods as well. I've seen some videos and it doesn't look too bad, but does anyone have any advice for someone that's never done this before? I was going to go with MOOG as the replacements, but I'm not sure what type of special tool I need for these? I've seen a lot that comes with different crows feet, but I don't know what size the Ranger is. And is there any part that I need to worry about greasing or anything?
I plan on getting an alignment after all front work is done so being super accurate isn't as much as a concern, (I know I have to count the outer tie rod). I just want to be sure I don't blatantly miss something while I have everything apart. TIA!
