  1. If necessary, install the outer tie rods onto the inner tie rod threads. As the outer tie rods are installed, count out same number of rotations as were counted on tie rod removal. This will get the toe setting somewhat close to specification before the vehicle is aligned at the end of this procedure. Snug the tie rod jam nuts on both ends of gear. Tighten the tie rod jam nuts to specification while performing the wheel alignment at the end of this procedure.
  2. Tip the steering gear input shaft forward as needed, then slide the steering gear across the crossmember and out through right wheel opening.
  3. Carefully install the steering gear (1) through the right wheel opening using the reverse of how it was removed. Slide it under the heat shield and move it across the crossmember until centered.
