Pontiac Phoenix Tie Rod
The Pontiac Phoenix Tie Rod transfers steering wheel movement to the front knuckles so the car turns exactly the way you want. In the early Pontiac mid-size years, many Phoenix models came with a worm gear steering box and a parallelogram linkage. With a Pitman arm that pushed a center link, each Tie Rod moved a wheel via small greased ball joints. The later editions of Phoenix got a compact rack and pinion gear. The center link was deleted. Each inner Tie Rod screwed directly into the rack and the outer Tie Rod bolted to the knuckle. This reduced weight and play. Every Tie Rod, regardless of layout, features a ball-and-socket joint that is encased in a rubber boot that holds lubricant and keeps grit out. This means that the linkage can swing from side to side for making turns and can also flex with the suspension travel. When joints have excessive movement, it indicates wear and can make the steering wander. As looseness or torn boots can cause damage, the driver should be vigilant about these things to keep their Pontiac handling crisp and their vehicle tracking true.
Each OEM Pontiac Phoenix Tie Rod we offer is competitively priced and comes with the assurance of the manufacturer's warranty for the part. Furthermore, we guarantee the speedy delivery of your orders right to your doorstep. Our hassle-free return policy is also in place for your peace of mind.
Pontiac Phoenix Tie Rod Parts Questions & Experts Answers
- Q: How is the replacement of tie rods typically done with the rack and pinion on Pontiac Phoenix?A:To make the image more clear, for photographic clarity, we did the job with the Rack And Pinion removed. We will proceed by lifting up the front of a car and supporting it on jack stands then take off the front wheel. Following that, take away tie rod nut that holds outer tie rod to Steering Knuckle. Separate tie rod from steering knuckle using GM special tool or equivalent. It is important to know where the jam nut sits in relation to inner tie rod threads so that when it is reinstalled similar front end alignment can be maintained as previously. Thereafter, unscrew outer tie rod from inner one and back off jam nut from the outer tie rod. When you tighten up ends of threads together against jam nut marking at its position on threads using a C-clamp and a 1 1/8-in (27 mm) socket put back again into steering knuckle. Put in place, properly install the retaining nut for tie-rod specifications tightening then repeat process for torqueing jam nut specs. Position a tire on the front wheel before bringing down vehicle down to earth level surface. In conclusion, now a front end alignment must be performed.
