Few more front end questions

Ok, I got the new tie rod ends. They came with a little thing that looks like a bleeder valve on a brake cylinder. What is that for? Is that one of those grease things?

 

Jamie; yes, it is a zerk fitting. Be sure to put it in.

 

And don't forget to grease em up after you install them, they're dry.

 

Will it be ok to drive it a couple of miles over to my friend brents house to have him grease them? I don't have the right tools to put grease in fittings like that.

Also, they both have the same part number so I assume it dosen't matter which one goes on which side?

Pep Boys was the only place in town that had the idler arm in their ware house. It will be here by Tuesday hopefully.

There's alot of rust on those old ends. I checked again today and the passenger one has about 1/4th play in it. I'm not looking forward to this...

 

Don't Forget To Count The Number Of Turns When You Replace Them Did You Get Outers And Inners?

 

I did not get inners. They seem to be ok. I don't have enough money for inners right now.

 

When You Loosen The Adj Sleeve Make Sure You Count The Number Of Turns Then Screw The New One In The Same Number
