I should watch your video first before I replaced it on my car. I measure with the ruler but after installed still took long time to make it balance because the tires moved when remove this part. You did the smart way, great video.
I be dipped that’s a good idea, thank you for your videos young man, I do some repair on my old E320 cdi, those Germans would cringe if they saw those knuckle busters, channel locks, water pump pliers breaking that loose.
I told myself where the hell is the nut. And then... :-D But i think that you missed the spot, where the spring clamp on the smaller side of the boot should secure it on the tie rod. There was nice recess on the rod, that you didn't use. I thought that you will adjust it later. But it's not in the video. It would be a pity to rip that original meritorious boot by stretching it too much, when this side tie rod will extend to its limit. Overall again simple but very nice tutorial. I use to say, that knowledge brings fear. But you are a nice exception that proves the rule. ;)
Dunno if anyone cares but if you guys are stoned like me during the covid times then you can stream pretty much all the latest movies and series on InstaFlixxer. Have been binge watching with my gf for the last few weeks xD
Exellent video!. I have the same job to do on my car, but I do not have a lift. I will use jackstands. How much more awkward would this job be to do it this way?
@@MBDieselFreak thankyou. I had winter tyres fitted and a wheel alignment done because I replaced the front lower control arms. They told me that they felt movement in the inner tie rods. I suspected as much. They confirmed this for me. Great videos, thanks again!
Definitely thought about it, would love to get one! I currently do not have the money to justify one right now though. Id much rather put money into preventative maintenance than optional mods.
MBDieselFreak thanks for the reply. I’m considering one but I don’t want to destroy my CDI. Is there certain brand that you are looking at or would consider above others?
@@damienisabella2059 any tune that actually remaps the ECU is completely safe. rocketchip, green diesel engineering, monroe tune, etc. any companies that sell an ECU tune for the CDI will work, and cost varies quite a bit depending on who you go with. quality of the tune doesn't really change much from brand to brand either.
@@MBDieselFreak You can buy cheap chinese MPPS with ~10$. Many 320cdis can be read/write with that. Making remap (actual flash dump editing with WinOls) on your own is the most time consuming part. It's a bit steap learning curve. But there are forums for good info. I have done mine OM642 like that . Think it as an adventure ;)
475k now lol, haven't had to do any work on her in over a year other than oil changes. These cars aren't good for having new material to made videos about lmao
out of interest why did you not replace the external tie rod. I'm looking at doing both inner and outer rods l+r on my cl 600, this video has helped me understand that I will be able to do it myself.
I would recommend that you have a friend mark the laser line then offset the wheel all the way inward make a mark, all the way outward make a mark and then let the wheel rest and see if it falls in the center. Perhaps it's unevenly worn, but I would think measuring the middle of the two offsets would be the actual original alignment.
I just spent 4.5h removing one, fuck sake it was there good,and i damaged the exit of the contorl rod threads, so now i am waitng to get a new part...Fucking slat on roads. I will put a coat of copper lube. I use it on all suspention bolts when i replace it

Nailed it with your help, thanks for the laser tip, perfectly aligned. no more clunks.

Thanks for the great video. Love the laser idea and will be using it when the time comes for tie rod replacement.
Cheers!
Outstanding presentation. Many thanks!
The laser is smart idea,
thank you, cheer
Great Job !!
Do you have a video/tip on how to tell if the inner is bad vs the outer, or if you should replace both at the same time you're doing it?
Very smart solution Thanks!!
😎🦉 Oh! Fuck I'll tell you right now me and this guy would get along just fine LOL
This is a great video. This video is very helpful. Thank you so much!

Not bad at all, I've done this exact job on jack stands before as well

Love the fix!!! Off question: would you ever consider installing a tune? If so, which one would you go with?

Put another spanner inside the tie rod end to stop the steering rack being damaged
exactly! Should never try to turn that alone.
Thanks for the great video. Your CDI at 400k a year ago? I have some serious competition lol

Awesome man!
Thanks for a great video. 450,000 miles?
455k at this point in time!
Thank you
Nice dude!
Is this process similar on 2007 CLS550? it's based on the w211 platform.
whats keeping the inner end from coming loose again from all the tightening of the outer part?
Min 6:26 😆😆😆 👍
This one has a 100 NM of torque , where able to torque it well using the plier ?
u need a special tool
BTCC racing cars use a rod that attaches to the bumper and two bits of string then measure s

My w211 E200 with 490k (miles) before the inner Tire Rod gave up today.... never seen such bullshit from MB before xD
Nice video,i have a sl350(r230)

I cant find inner tie rod torque value, could you reply? Thank you
