How to service and repair the tie rod inner on Ford Fusion?

Service and repair of tie rod inner components begin with steering gear removal followed by pinion shaft and steering gear housing marking before installation. A steering gear should always be placed inside a soft-jaw vise to avoid any harm. You should loosen the tie-rod jam nut followed by removing the outer tie-rod end before installing it to a torque of 90 Nm (66 lb-ft). Both bellows boots have to be removed before extracting the right-hand inner tie-rod end because technicians need to unfasten four bellow clamps and remove the two steering gear bellows boots. When removing the inner tie-rod end you should use an appropriate wrench to grasp the piston shaft before tightening the component to 103 Nm (76 lb-ft). The piston shaft must be held during inner tie rod end tightening while the new rock washer should receive a crimp after the tightening process. To finish the installation process you must revert the removal steps.
