Note: Installation will require new rupee link ball nuts and a new shock boot nut.
Removing
1. Apply the parking brake and place chocks under the front wheels. Raise the front of the car with a jack and place it on stands (see "Lifting the vehicle and placing it on stands").
2. Loosen and remove the mounting nut and bolt and separate the shock absorber from the tie rod.
3. Loosen and remove the nuts securing the tie rod ball joints to the steering gear and intermediate lever. Separate the ball joints using a universal ball joint puller. Pull the tie rod out from under the vehicle.
4. Check that the hinges move freely without binding and that the hinge boots are not damaged or cracked or torn. If the joints are worn or damaged, the tie rod assembly must be replaced. If only the boot is damaged, replace it and put fresh grease in the boot.
Installation
5. Make sure the ball joint pins are clean and dry. After that install steering draft. Install new fastening nuts and tighten them to the required torque.
6. Connect the steering shock absorber to the longitudinal link and insert the mounting bolt. Install a new nut on the bolt and tighten to the specified torque. Lower the car to the ground.
