This was such a good video and your pictures were so clear. I wish all video's were this clear, Thank you.

An alignment must be performed after changing out inner tie rods.

It's worth mentioning that a trolley jack (or any kind of hydraulic jack) is designed to lift the vehicle only – not hold it for any significant amount of time.

Thanks, Hey bud take an extra 2 minutes and install a jack stand when climbing under the car - although it could have made for an interesting video if the jack ever rolled or failed. Thanks for all of the great information. Be safe.

Good. Short and too the point. The shorter it is the more likely I'll watch it.

Wow! You just saved me a bucket of money. I have a Ford Flex that had been in a fender bender before we bought it. Over time the car has developed a vibration type noise that the local Les Schwab has had difficulty diagnosing. After re balancing all wheels 3 times, buying new tires, 2 alignments, they said it was a bad ball joint. I do not agree. So, I used two hydraulic jacks to lift the front end off the ground. I found DS front tire 1/8 inch out of round. Then wiggling the tires I found the PS wheel made a small clunk. It appears that in the fender bender, one front wheel hit a curb and damaged the rack and pinion. Les Schwab should have caught that.
I now believe it is the inner tie rod. I did not know it was replaceable. Thanks for making this valuable video. I subscribed since you are a Real mechanic.

LMMFAO! NUMBER ONE RULE IN WORKING UNDER A CAR, NEVER CRAWL UNDER CAR WITH ONLY A JACK HOLDING IT UP, YOU MUST HAVE PROPER JACK

That was a good video for me! My car also feels the similar way, I think time to change the tie rods of passenger side. Thanks!

Great video. My need replacing soon. I get a fine vibration in the steering wheel at low speed, but it disappears when pressing the clutch.
I've had my car in bits last summer and the inner tie rods are loose like in this video, but never thought that this indicates that they are worn.
Thanks for sharing your video.

This video answered my burning question lol. I have a vibration in the steering wheel under moderate to heavy braking. I will be doing the inner and outer tire rods.

It's not hard... if it moves ONLY side to side its a tie rod, if it moves ONLY up and down its a ball joint, if it moves up and down and all around its a wheel bearing

Instead of looking for joint free-play, while applying side to side pressure at the tire, set the tires on ramps and observe the joints while someone rocks the steering wheel.

Excellent presentation. Great clear video on the area of interest. Best wishes. And understandable with slow clear descriptions. Thanks.

I have a 2014 Hyundai Elantra and the light of the electronic power steering is on also the one for skidding, brakes, the car has not reached 100, 000 miles yet so it was never changed the car you can drive it but I want to know if it could be the inner & outer tie rod, it is not the steering coupler.
