2016 E-450 Outer Tie Rod end seal

:S

Thanks for the replies. I might just try to tackle this myself. Anyone happen to know the part number? I looked and found several that appear to be the same, but all different part numbers.

maybe there are some another ways?

When replaced,you will need alignment.

And if you just measure the old one before removing, no alignment needed.

You can easily replace the tie rod end yourself but you will need to adjust the toe-in after doing so or, you can just grease it every month and keep driving it for a long time.

Its a steering part on a motorhome, take it to a shop to be inspected or repaired, the part is not expensive and its not labor intensive. It just needs to be done right. When a tie rod fails you lose the ability to steer the vehicle.

The boot can tear or unseat allowing grease to come out. If the grease is gritty then its been torn for a bit of time allowing dirt to penetrate. At that point it gets worse, the ball might have some play in it from it wearing out from road dirt.
A front end/tire shop would know if a polyurethane replacement is avl which I think it is.

Ya, have to pop the tie rod out of the spindle. I’ve put universal ones on before.
Is it torn or can you clean it up and get it to hold?
Depends which end popped apart whether you can fix it. Unless it’s torn.
