Buy the new one first. When you have the old one off try movign the threaded shaft, and then compare it to the new one. The old one should be easy to move and the new one should be nice and tight.

today i install the tie rod end on both sides of the car. I did see a change in the steering of the car because it used to pull to one said and it has change it dosent do it as much now i just need the hub assembly. When i install the tie rod end in the bottom of the tie rod end there was a lil hole and withing the bock were the rod came there was a lil thing that goes in the bottom of the rod it said to put grease in the rod for proper use. The thing is i dont know how much grease and what kind of grease. Also i wanted to grease my chasis z28pete mention something about every 3000 miles to grease the chasis what kind of grease do i use??? thanks in advance

 

Those things are called Zerk fittings or grease fittings. Get a cheap grease gun and I HIGHLY recomend getting the flexible attatchment. I personally use the Mobil 1 Synthetic grease, but I have noticed it liquifies. There is also marine grease and lithium grease. Lithium grease is the most common. I also use marine grade grease in another grease gun for the trailer for the water craft, and I personally like using it because it is harder to break down and it resists water. Yes, it is recomended to grease the fittings every 3000 miles.

Here are a couple ones I recomend

Your local auto parts store will have the grease gun, the hose, and the different types of grease.

OK i finally got the parts in today, and i want to still them asap, but the thing is that none of my local auto parts stores rent a slide hammer, what can happen if i hit the hub assebly with a hammer just enough to get it loose, or what can i do in this case?

 

First make sure you unbolt the hub assembly from the steering knuckle (the forged piece that connects between the upper and lower control arms). There are 4 bolts holding the hub to the knucle, and once the bolts are removed it should come off easily. However, being you are replacing it you can bang on it all you want, just don't beat up the rest of the suspension. Also, make sure that the rotors and calipers are removed firts, and the ABS cable disconnected.

 

thanks pete for the quick response. after these my next steering replacement will be some shock and struts it also needs some
