Hi, I'm Mike from 1A Auto. I hope this how-to video helps you out, and next time you need parts for your vehicle, think of 1AAuto.com. Thanks.
In this video, we're going to show you how to replace an outer tie rod on this 2005 Ford F150. We show you on the driver side but the passenger side is the same procedure. The items you'll need for this is a new outer tie rod from 1AAuto.com; a 7, 10, and 21mm socket and ratchet with a piece of pipe for leverage; two adjustable wrenches; a tape measure; a hammer; a torque wrench; and jack and jack stands.
Start off by prying off the hub cap. Then loosen up these lug nuts using a 21mm socket and ratchet and a piece of pipe for some extra leverage. Once you get each of them loosened up you can raise the vehicle and remove them the rest of the way. Now pull the wheel off.
Now turn the wheel and then remove this 21mm nut at the top of your outer tie rod. Then once you remove it, you want to just put it back on just a couple threads. Spray the nut at the end of your outer tie rod with some penetrating fluid, and then, using two adjustable wrenches, just loosen it up. Now hammer the knuckle until the outer tie rod drops down. Now you can remove that nut and just set your outer tie rod off to the side.
Now measure from the boot on your inner tie rod to the center of your outer tie rod, and just remember that distance. Then you can twist your outer tie rod free. We'll fast forward as Mike does that.
On the left is the old outer tie rod. On the right, is the new one from 1A Auto. You can see they're identical and they'll fit exactly the same. Take your new outer tie rod and twist it into place. We'll fast forward as Mike does that. Now, measure from the boot to the inside of the outer tie rod and make sure it's the same distance. If it is, you're all set. If not, you'll have to move that nut to adjust it.
Now, feed your outer tie rod up through the wheel knuckle and replace that nut and tighten it up. If the studs start spinning when you use your 21mm socket just use a 21mm wrench and a 10mm socket to hold the stud in place and tighten it up. Then torque that to 111 foot pounds.
Now, using two adjustable wrenches just tighten that nut back up, and then put your grease fitting into place on the outer tie rod. Then just tighten it up with a 7mm socket and ratchet. Using a grease gun, just top it off with some grease.
Now we'll fast forward as Mike replaces the wheel, and replaces the lug nuts, and tightens them preliminary, and then lowers the vehicle and tightens them the rest of the way. Then torque each of them, in a crossing pattern, to 120 foot pounds. Then just replace your hub cap and you're all set.

I am so happy I found your site! The price was unbelievable for getting everything in one kit. I would have just replaced the parts that were failing but with the kit, I did them all! I will always check prices here first. I am once again driving safely with my grandkids.
Good parts!

All the parts were good quality for the price. Just remember not to try to tighten nuts further after you've applied locktite. I broke a sway bar link this way. Other than not standing up to my monster tightening these were great items at a great price!

I want to thank 1A auto for their outstanding service. I ordered a steering and suspension kit for my 2003 Ford Expedition and had some doubts about the correct parts U needed, their website made it very easy for me to choose the right parys. I placed my order and the delivery was prompt and punctual. My mechanic was impressed with the accuracy and quality of the parts. Instalation required only half the time it normally does thanks to the very descriptive instructions. Again , thank you.

This was my first time ordering hard parts online. I was very pleased to see the parts arrived on time, fit correctly, and they look like good quality parts. I was a GM for AAP for 8 years and felt confident about installing these suspension parts on my family expedition. I was concerned about fit and quality, since they came from online... But everything went great. I definitely will continue to do business. Shocks are next!!

Ordered Steering Kit 5/2020. Had mechanic install parts. All was well. Recently, i noticed movement, swaying in the steering and i also saw tire tread on both inner front tires wearing away. Took it to the mechanic to find out the controll arms bushing are worne out . Appaently its a cheaper design. I called 1A Auto and the part will be be replaced. i still have to pay for labor. You get what you pay for. It cost me the money I thought I was saving. Thank God shipping and customer service helped me save face.
Great service
