How do you replace the tie rods and idler arm in a 1987-1995 Nissan Pathfinder?
Installation is the reverse of removal, only you don’t need a puller, just tighten down the castle nuts to the proper specs before installing new cotter pins. Remember to grease your new tie rods, most new ones come with grease zerks even if the old ones didn’t. By the way, you DO have a Chilton’s book for the vehicle, don’t you? If not, they’re only $15 and one is definitely worth having. To be honest, if you’re a screwdriver mechanic I would find someone you trust to help you on this project, it’s not something to want to half-ass and then find out about later.
