Nissan 48520-35F25 Socket Assembly-Side Rod Outer

Support the front part of your vehicle with jackstands while raising it, then take off the wheel. Use your hand to feel for the tied rod end that is loose and damaged while it still has fabric wrapping on the ball joint. Unscrew the cotter pin, add the tie rod ball joint, note where your steering linkage sits, then move on. Loosen the tie rod-to-steering gear locknut. Unfasten the steering knuckle's tie rod ball joint by fitting the ball joint remover perfectly shaped tool HT72520000, or your equivalent solution. Free up the locknut and remove the tie rod end from the tie rod. Remember to count how many times it turns completely. Position the new tie rod end when putting it back on your car, just like you took off the old end, keeping it in the same spot compared to your steering connection. Slide the ball joint and nut in place, tighten them, and insert a fresh cotter pin. Then tighten the ball joint stud nut exactly as specified. When checking front wheel alignment, make sure you know the recommended torque for attaching steering knuckle to tie rod end. On a 240SX, the correct torque range is between 22 and 36 foot-pounds. Also, replace any broken pin and nut connectors.
