Changing Tie Rods 200 1984

posted by  someone claiming to be Mike on  Wed Dec 25 20:05 CST 2002 [RELATED]

I'm going to replace the tie rods myself on my '84 244 DL non-turbo.

Do I need any special tools (eg ball joint separator) to change tie rods?

Any tips for marking the number of turns on the interface between the inner and outer tie rods?

Any other tips?

What type of grease/lubricant do I use (my '84 B23F non-turbo has an automatic transmission and power steering)?

I never needed special tools to change my 240 tie rod ends. If you're not re-installing them, loosen the castle nut and give it a whack with a hammer - should come right out. As far as re-establishing the toe dimension, I've never been lucky - the replacement parts always seemed to be of different manufacture than the ones I was replacing. I would still count the number of turns in on the thread, but back that up with an accurate measurement (to the nearest 1/16th of an inch, or better) from the end of the inner tie rod to the center of the tie rod end.

Not sure what you're greasing...
