Tie Rod Movement

https://youtu.be/3rP3jXkCSCA


Okay guys this is the movement from my Tie Rods. It does this on both sides. I'm not sure if this is normal movement or not, but all the help would sure be appreciated. Hope my tie rods aren't failing.. thanks guys

 

Normal. If they didn't allow for that movement, your tie rods would break when your suspension moves up and down or when you turn.

 

Yeah that's ok, you are looking for in and out movement of the inner, or up and down movement of the outer those are the signs of wear.

 

+1 for normal

 

Thanks so much guys! Do you think I should change Tie Rods considering I do run 35s and have a lift?

 

^You should change tie rods when they are worn. So far your video hasn't shown that they are worn.

 

Not unless you want to waste a bunch of money on tierods and an alignment.

 

agree with above...usually you can feel worn tie rods as a shake in the steering wheel, and you have a little time to replace them.

 

So if my tie rods were bad/and or worn, I could feel the tie rods and they could be loose and have movement side to side?

 

Yeah, the easiest way to check them is to lift the front end off the ground and grab the tire at the 9 and 3 position and wiggle it. If any movement is felt, it's best to check to see if the play is in the inner tie rod, outer tie rod, or wheel bearing. It also helps to have someone wiggle the tire while you look at everything if movement is felt.
