Hello, I'm Danny.

Here is the information you requested. This is a tutorial showing how to change tie rod ends for you to view:

I've attached picture steps below on how to change the inner tie rod ends on your vehicle which includes the torque specification. The tie rod ends need to be torqued to 90NM (Newton Meters) or 65 Ft. Lbs. Hope this helps and thanks for using 2CarPros.

Hi RAMACK,

Just to provide that info, we have access to Alldata and Mitchell which are online service manuals.

If you need other info, feel free to get a new post started for that request and we can provide what you need. Thanks for using 2CarPros.

Hello again.

Yes, we are provided with Mitchell on Demand and AllData. You can pay online to have as a subscription but that is more for a professional Mechanic and covers all makes and models. You can go to your local auto parts store and get a Chilton or Haynes repair book for your particular car at a lot less as opposed to a yearly subscription like us. Hope you got the repair made or let us know if you have any further questions on this issue. Hope this helps and thanks again for using 2CarPros.

Danny-
