Here are some pictures of my power steering rack. The housing in non-ferrous, it looks like aluminum. I understand there are different types of racks. What kind is this one?
I need to replace the inner tie rod ends. Should I also replace the outer ones?

Green manuals available for free a k-jet.org and others.

You should have the tie rod ends ("outer") when you replace the tie rod because the condition of the internal threads may surprise you even if the ball joints seem intact. Whether you actually use them depends on what you find when you disconnect.

Because, in your old thread, Dave reminded me that I too have seen female tie rods, but neither that I stock have that configuration. I should, too, because those fit at least one of my two 83's.

Your picture looks CAM/TRW to me, and the 1387451 is what I keep for CAM racks on the 89 and later cars we have. Actually, it is dimensionally similar to the ZF tie rod, and as one of us on another forum discovered, can be interchanged in a pinch. Neither of us recommend that though. I think you are not at great financial risk ordering that one, given you can get one for $11.

A woman has the last word in any argument. Anything a man says after that is the beginning of a new argument.

A picture of the boot near the tie rod end would tell us?

What year? Is it power steering?

Dan

pageda, it is a 1989, with power steering.

Here's a picture of the boot on the passenger side.

OK you have the Cam type, if the seals in the rack are dry and not leaking you could replace the tie rods and tie rod ends if they are worn (very loose). Make sure you get the correct male or female threaded end your rack will need by taking off one of the tie rods (inner rod).

if the oil seals in the rack are leaking you should get a rebuilt rack, go directly to
jorgens, they have a real good reputation.
