How to remove and install a tie rod end on the front of a Lexus RX350?

Before removing the tie-rod, unscrew the wheel lug nuts, lift the front end of the car, put on jackstands, secure the rear wheels, engage the parking brake and then take off the front wheel. Subsequently, using the locking pliers or a wrench, loosen the jam nut sufficiently in order to compare the present position of the tie-rod with the end of the new, installed tie-rod end threaded for the same turns. When you can do this from the steering knuckle arm use a puller to remove the nut that will help you to separate the tie rod, remove the cotter pin and loosen the nut on the tie rod end stud closest to the centre of the vehicle. Disconnect the tie-rod end from the tie rod. For installation, slide the tie-rod end into the position marked and pass the threaded stud through the steering knuckle arm; then tighten the jam nut. Screw the castle nut on to the stud and tighten to the recommend torque. Last but not the least, place the wheel properly and tighten the lug nuts in the right manner that is to the recommended torque, then lower the car, then check the alignment by a dealer service department or an alignment shop.

Lexus RX350 Tie Rod End

The Lexus RX350 Tie Rod End connects the steering rack and the knuckle, allowing the driver to point the SUV with confident precision. It transfers the force generated by you spinning the steering wheel, converting the linear motion of the rack into the swiveling action of the front wheels, ensuring that the alignment remains steady over bumps and while making tight parking maneuvers. Early generations of the RX350 had a hydraulic power steering setup, with the Tie Rod End in tandem with pressurized fluid, hoses, and a belt-driven pump, whereas newer generations have electric assist which requires no fluid but still requires the same strong part to transmit motion. Two styles exist within each Tie Rod End assembly which are an inner and outer joint with threads so toe angle can be fine-tuned on Lexus crossovers. A worn Lexus RX350 Tie Rod End can cause shimmy or uneven tire wear which is the signal for replacement. Due to the wearing of the Tie Rod End from road shock and contamination, periodic checks ensure every Lexus RX350 maintains a straight line and responds instantaneously to steering input.

Should you need to purchase new auto parts for your vehicle, we strongly suggest you consider the genuine Lexus RX350 Tie Rod End available on LexusPartsNow.com. Our OEM Lexus RX350 Tie Rod End come with the reassurance of the manufacturer's warranty, a hassle-free return policy, and speedy delivery service, all at affordable prices online.
