Toyota Land Cruiser Tie Rod End Parts Questions & Experts Answers
Q: How to inspect and replace the Drag Link,Pitman Arm and Tie Rod End on Toyota Land Cruiser?
A: Steering linkage couples the steering gear to the front wheels so that the two wheels will be parallel to each other. It accommodates the Pitman arm that is connected to the steering gear shaft and moves the drag link to transfer motion to the Steering Knuckle through a tube, clamps and two tie-rod ends. There is also a steering damper included to reduce shimmy and any other unwanted forces. To check, center and align the position of the wheels, as well as lock the steering wheel, and then using a jack raise the car to lift one side of it and affix a dial indicator on the edge of the wheel. B shake the wheel a bit and ensure that the gauge reading is less than 6.0 mm; if the latter is more feel for loose linkage. Lift the car on jackstands to look for troubled parts. Before removing the tie-rod end you will need to follow the loosening of the wheel lug nuts, lifting of the vehicle and the removing of the wheel. Untighten the castle nut on the ballstud without taking it of, then using the ballstud puller, pull off the ballstud off the steering knuckle. If a tie-rod end has to be replaced, the number of threads that are visible should be noted in order to reform the part, lubricate the new part, and then screw it back to the original number. Replace the new tie-rod end into position and make sure it is firmly fixed then tighten the nut. Fit new cotter pins and tight the clamp nuts. After reconstruction is complete, raise the car and take off the tires, then ins Affiliate tighten the bolts, and check the front end alignment. For drag link removal, you need to lift the vehicle so you can then remove the steering damper for you to disconnect the two ends of drag link from the Pitman arm as well as the steering knuckle. If replacements are required it's the same process as identifying the thread count. Reinstallation is done in the reverse sequence, with all the fasteners being tighten at the end. Regarding the Pitman arm on the truck, the first step is to free the drag link by unthreading the nut on it and then using a removal tool to free it and also align the marks before replacing the part. Last, disconnect the steering damper from the center link, remove it from the frame bracket, and regain it and fix the bolts and nuts with right strength.
