Hi
So i'm having a problem getting my driver side tie rod out.
The top nut is off and the bolt moves freely but i just can't get it out.
Videos show it just dropping out but mine won't move far enough down to com out.
I don't want to force it down and break something.

Thanks

 

Put the jack under the lower ball joint and lift the knuckle up a bit. It'll give it room to come out.

 

Tried but i just can't push it low enough and out...
I'm also a bit weary to lift the jack to high. Is the lower control arm supposed to lift?

At it for a few hours now (LOL)...
The how to videos make it look so easy. Take off top nut, hit with hammer and it drops out...

 

Auto Zone loans the tool that makes that a lot easier. I've never had them fall out after banging with a hammer.

 

"Is the lower control arm supposed to lift?" - Yes

 

Disconnect the steering knuckle from the upper ball joint and push the knuckle back toward the rear of the fender.

 

Thanks for all the help... Got it out eventually... Now the upper control arm bolt wont release from the steering knuckle... (Never Ends)

 

What exactly is your goal? What are you trying to replace?

 

Do you mean the upper ball joint won't come out of the knuckle? You need to give it a few whacks with a 2lb hammer.

 

Its all because you have spring spacers in it holding everything down below normal height. You can loosen the upper control arm bushing bolts and it will move all you want.
