Hi, I'm Mike from 1A Auto. I hope this how-to video helps you out, and next time you need parts for your vehicle, think of 1AAuto.com. Thanks.
In this video, we show you how to replace an outer tie rod on this 1998 Honda Civic. We show you on the passenger side, but the driver side is the same procedure. You'll need a new outer tie rod from 1AAuto.com, 17mm and 19mm socket and ratchet, 14mm and 19mm wrench, a hammer, pliers, a torque wrench, and Jack and Jack stands.
Start off by removing your wheel. You want to loosen up these lug nuts while the vehicle is on the ground, then raise it, and remove them rest of the way unless you have air powered tools and then you can remove it entirely while the vehicle is lifted. Once those are removed, you can just pull your wheel right off.
Right here is your outer tie rod. Measure from this boot to the center of the outer tie rod and remember that measurement. Now, you want to use a 19mm wrench on this nut and just loosen it up, and using pliers remove this cotter pin. Now use a 17mm socket and remove this castle nut, and you may need to just push the wheel all the way in that way you can break it free, and then you can turn the wheel back and remove it the rest of the way. Hit the knuckle with a hammer and that will break the tie rod free so you can lift it up and out. Then we'll fast-forward as Don just twists that off.
On the right is the old outer tie rod; on the left is the new one from 1A Auto. You can see they're identical, and will mount exactly the same. Twist your new outer tie rod into place. Now lift the outer tie rod, push it down to the knuckle, and replace the castle nut. Then we'll just fast-forward as Don tightens this up. Push the cotter pin in place, and then, using pliers, pin the ends of it in separate directions.
Now, measure and make sure it's the right distance. If it isn't, you want to use that 14mm wrench and you want to just turn this until it is the right distance. Once it is, use the 19mm wrench to tighten that nut. Then replace your wheel and your wheel cover and the four log nuts. You want to tighten them preliminary, lower the vehicle, and then tighten them the rest of the way. Then torque each of them in a crossing pattern to a 100 foot-pounds.

So Ive been driving my 98 civic for a couple weeks now with all these parts installed and I've had no issues so far. (Didn't install inner/outer tie rod ends + sway bar end links because it turns out they were fine) I live in Rhode Island and the roads here are terrible. Period. I beat my car pretty bad haha but these struts perform well, havent had any creaking from either upper or lower ball joints. Ctrl arms are the same guage as stock so no worries there. All around great parts I'm totally gonna buy everything I can from here from now on
Great kit

This kit is not correct for a 2003 Honda Civic, and although we offer other kits for that year, make and model, we do not have one that would include these exact parts.

Does it come with the wishbone?March 11, 2020
Bobby H

I was forwarded the question from 1aauto since I'd purchased the kit last year, I'll try to answer, but I'm not sure what a wishbone is. As background, I got the kit to restore an undamaged, lowered 1998 civic to normal ride. For that purpose the kit had everything I needed except for the rear upper control arms (would have been a lot easier to just install new ones than trying to adjust the ones from the lowered kit). On the front end, the kit has the upper control arms (wishbone shaped?), but not the lower arms. The front struts do not have the fork that connects to the knuckle (kind of a wishbone shaped part), in my case, the ones on the lowered struts were undamaged and I just moved them over. The front end installation was a fairly simple. Just unbolted the parts, swapped the forks over to the new struts and reassembled (did not swap tie rod ends or lower ball joints). The rear end struts were easier, just removed the old assembly and replaced. Other than botching trying
