DIY - 2014 Kia Sportage 2.0 CRDI: Change inner and outer tie rods (track rods) and accessories

We noticed the dust boot on the left-side outer tie rod of our Sportage was wearing out, so as part of preventative maintenance we have replaced both the inner and outer tie rods, as well as the associated dust boot and clamps. The method used keeps the post-installation wheel alignment very close to its original values.

The OE numbers of the parts used are as follows:
- Outer tie rod (left): 568202S000
- Outer tie rod (right): 568202S050
- Outer tie rod ball joint castle nut: 1313410007K
- Outer tie rod ball joint cotter pin: 577994D200
- Inner tie rod (same on both sides): 577242S010
- Inner tie rod dust boot: 577402S000
- Tie rod jam nut: 577592E000
