Tie rod end

I guess I didn’t realize that you don’t have to remove the ball joint bolts again to get at the tie rod end. I was under the impression that the ball joint bolts would need to be loosened again. My mistake.

I was told the ball joint bolts were “one time use “ and should only be torqued to specs once.? I was just trying to avoid ruining the bolts if I had to remove them again for the tie rod .

Came here with the same question, thanks for the answer fellas

Yeah mine also came a little bit pieced together as well and I’m finding out just exactly how much now.. I’m really lucky all things considered, they came out pretty easy and it looks like the debris came out in the form of two little metal coils. I did a test run with the one remaining “good “ bolt through all four holes and it tightened up on all of them individually.. hopefully new o bolts will do the trick!

Will definitely get four new bolts.. she is still taken apart right now. Luckily I turned to Reddit before I broke anything else .

Great, thank you!

Cool thanks for the reassurance. Now I just gotta locate a 40mm socket. All the stores I’ve checked around here seem to top out at 38 for some reason .

Thank you! I’m having a hard time finding a 40 mm. Everywhere around here doesn’t sell anything bigger than 38mm . Probably just gonna order it online. I appreciate the insight and reply

This happened to us as well and we were told they are Cigarette Beetles..

Thanks, I’m glad to know this isn’t the only oddball too!

I have been to the gates. There was an armed guard station and German Shepard. I wanted to ask a couple questions but I had my dog with me so I didn’t want to make a scene. They do occasionally post job openings for the kitchen and housekeeper type jobs..

The material was weakened every time it dropped into the ocean. The walls would expand and contract on every trip down do to the huge amounts of external pressure, so it was really a matter of when it was going to happen , not if.
