As the title reads I am replacing the inner and outer tie rods, passenger side cv axle, idler arm, throttle body (leaky iac), and doing an oil change. Wonered if anyone had any advice, suggestions, or helpful hints for this labor. Thanks.

 

Have a good pitman arm puller for disconnecting the outer tie rod ends. I ordered one from Harbor Freight for about 8 bucks, but I know you can rent them from Schucks. I'd replace the bushings on the steering rack while your at it.

 

Count the number of threads showing on the tie rod ends...helps to get them back on with out throwing the toe in/out adjustment completly out of whack...

 

Since your replacement parts may be slightly different than what is on there now, make sure you measure the length of the tierod (center of the ends)
