Changing Tie rods on Kenworth W900! How hard could it be?

[@silversurfer5920]

I feel your pain man. I’m not on my own right now but I do need to find someone to help with the truck near me though.

[@DrivetoProvide]

What you mean the truck near you?

[@silversurfer5920]

@@DrivetoProvide poorly worded sorry. I meant I need to find someone to work on it that’s nearby. That can make a world of difference.

You know what they say, if you can’t fix it with a hammer…you’ve got yourself an electrical problem. 😅

[@DrivetoProvide]

I like that 🤣🤣

@@DrivetoProvide .. what factoring company do you use ?
Maybe a vid explaining the do’s and don’t’s of these folks ?? I’d like to hear your perspective

Just do a field alignment. Mark the center of the front and rear side of both steer tires and adjust until the measurement is the same. Someone helping you it take 10 minutes. Unless you do a 3 axle alignment that’s probably what TA is going to do 🤷🏼‍♂️

I was way way off lol

What was the part # of crosstube you used? 220tr129-2?

[@ElDeQueretaro1991]

Did you have to lift the truck to remove the tie rod?

[@DrivetoProvide]

Nope

[@Mark-wt9hx]

Why did you buy the whole rod

[@DrivetoProvide]

Easier to replace the entire thing and not have to worry about trying to break the bar loose

[@gearjamer]

Plus it's cheaper then just buying the ends
