How do you change a front axle, tie rod on a Ford Aspire?

Take it to a shop that can also do a an alignment and have the rest of the suspension evaluated.|||I dont know how to change the front axle tie rod.


But I posted some links to information below.


I dont endorse or take any responsibility for what is posted. If you dont install it correctly, it would be very dangerous.








I did find one person who posted how to change the front brakes and tie-rods on the Aspire. You might start with that.


I also saw many online companies who can sell you the parts that you will need. Most tools (tie-rod puller etc)can be borrowed from AutoZone ( deposite refunded when you return them).

6: With those removed, you should be able to pull the axle out, but you don%26#039;t have to do that yet. The next thing you do is seperate the hub from the balljoint. Using the 14mm wrench and socket loosen and remove the lower bolt. After that, hammer in the tie-rod end seperator and start to pry the hub off the balljoint. Using the cheater pipe might help do this.


7: with the hub seperated, now you can remove the tie-rod end. Use your flat head screwdriver to pry out the cotter-pin and then use your 17mm socket to loosen and remove the nut holding it to the hub. Using the sledge hammer, whack the tie rod end out of the hub.

You might also repost listing the year your vehicle was manufactured, listed on the front door. 1994, 95, 96,97











May the force be with you....
