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're going to show you how to replace an outer tie rod on this 2005 GMC Savana 2500. It's the same process on the Savanas from 2001 to 2006, as well as a large variety of GM trucks and vans. The tools you'll need are an adjustable wrench, a piece of pipe for leverage, a 7 millimeter and 21 millimeter socket and ratchet, a pair of pliers, jack and jack stands, a hammer, and a torque wrench.
Start by removing the wheel cover or whatever wheel trim you might have. This one has a chrome one. Pull that off, and then, just use your socket and pull or loosen the lug nut covers. Pull the center cap off. If you don't have the benefit of air tools, you'll want to loosen the lug nuts with the vehicle on the ground. Then, jack up and secure the vehicle and remove the lug nuts, wheel, and tire.
Now, what you want to do is angle the wheel so you can get back to the outer tie rod. Now, using an adjustable wrench and a piece of pipe, you want to loosen the tie rod. Using a 21 millimeter socket, you want to remove that castle nut at the top of the ball joint. This one didn't have a pin through it to secure it, but typically, they do. All you want to do is straighten out the pin and pry it out. Now, using a hammer, you just want to hit the knuckle. Just repeatedly hit it until that bolt loosens up and pull the tie rod free. Before you remove the tie rod, make sure you know what the length of it is. Just measure this distance. Now, you can spin the outer tie rod off.
The old one is on the right, with the new outer tie rod on the left from 1A Auto. You can see it's an exact match. It comes with everything you need for installation. Now, using a 7 millimeter socket and ratchet, you just want to make sure you tighten this up. Then, twist the outer tie rod back onto the inner tie rod. Now, you want to re-measure it and make sure it's the right distance. Then, you want to line up the knuckle with the bolt on the ball joint. Push it up through and replace your castle nut. Push the pin through the bolt and the castle nut. You just want to use pliers to pry the ends of the pin. Now using your adjustable wrench, just tighten that back up.
We'll just fast forward as he puts the wheel back on. You want to replace the lug nuts while it's up in the air. Tighten them. Lower the vehicle. Tighten them the rest of the way and then torque them to 100 foot-pounds. Then, you want to put back on your hubcap. Tighten the lug nut caps and replace your wheel cover.

1. Diagnosis
The stabilizer link can break and the bushings can wear out.
A good way to tell if the problem is the stabilizer link is if there is a rattling that stops when you go around turns.
2. Remove the stabilizer link
Apply penetrating oil to the link.
Use a 14mm socket and ratchet to unbolt the stabilizer link.
Secure the upper part of the stabilizer link with an adjustable wrench to help get the traction needed to work the nut loose.
3. Install the new stabilizer link
Thread the new link into place
Put all your bushings and washers in place.
Make sure everything is snugged into their places in the stabilizer bar and the control arm
Use a jack to push the nut on to get it started.
Repeat the removal and installation process up to this point on the other side before tightening the stabilizer link nut up all the way.
If the old link is stuck or broken, you can use a Sawzall to cut it out.
Take great care to make sure you don’t damage any other parts if you do.
Brought to you by 1AAuto.com your source for quality replacement parts and the best service on the internet. Hi, I'm Mike Green. I'm one of the owners of 1A Auto. I want to help you save time and money repairing or maintaining your vehicle. I'm going to use my 20-plus years experience restoring and repairing cars and trucks like this to show you the correct way to install parts from 1AAuto.com. The right parts, installed correctly that's going to save you time and money. Thank you and enjoy the video.
In this video, we're going to replace the sway bar links in this 2002 GMC 2500HD, basically the same as most '88 to '06 GM pickups, SUVs, vans; also the same as a couple of Ford applications. Tools you'll need are a jack and jack stands for some vehicles, 14 mm socket and ratchet or whatever is correct for your link, they could be different depending on application, an adjustable wrench, and some penetrating oil.
Your stabilizer link is right up underneath. This big bar here is your stabilizer bar, and then here is your control arm. It's connected by this, which is the stabilizer link right here. This can break. Also, these bushings, these rubber bushings can wear out, which will cause a rattling sometimes when you go over bumps. You have a good idea if it's the stabilizer link if, when you go around a turn, the rattling stops. I'm going to show you how to replace that.
On top, you're going to want to spray some penetrating fluid. This is a 14 mm bolt down here at the bottom. What you're going to want to do is put an adjustable wrench onto this side. This is an original link here, so the thing on top is kind of bolt-shaped. I've got that on there to hold it. Now I'm going to attempt to slowly unscrew it.
The bolt comes down, and that can come out. Then you can see, even though there's nothing too terribly wrong, you can see that this one is worn, right in here, so we'll replace it. On the original you can see this top nut has edges to it so you can get that wrench on there to hold it in place. We've gotten it out of there, but we still have this in place. Just pull that right out, like that. I'm going to take my new link and I'm going to put it up through. This bushing has the ridge up into the control arm. Then I'm going to take a bushing down and then a washer on top of that, then my spacer. Then I'm going to take a bushing and a washer, and now the step goes up into the sway bar. Then just push that.
In order to get this in, what I've done is this is a little jack. If you're doing this just on the ground, you can do the same thing. Put the jack in underneath the stabilizer bar here, lift it up, and create plenty of room to push that up through. Then you want to make sure these bushings all go right into the holes in the stabilizer bar, right there, and the control arm. This last bushing goes with the ridge down, then the washer on top. I'm going to put the jack right in underneath here, push this up in to get the nut on.
I've got this together and I've got the nut started on there. I'm going to replace the other side first before I tighten it up. I wouldn't take apart the other side here you can see, this is the one from the driver's side and this is the one from this side, so you can see this whole part was rough and it broke off. It's possible this link wasn't really doing anything anyways. This here that broke off of this one is stuck inside there. What I'm going to have to do is I'm going to have to actually cut this link with my Sawzall. I'm going to do that very carefully, because I don't want to contact the boot or anything else. I don't want to contact the CVs. I just want to cut through the link itself.
Now with the car on the ground, you want to tighten up the links. I'm just using an air ratchet. You can hand tools, obviously. Tighten up both sides and you're done. We hope this helps you out.

What is 3 grove pitman arm?September 28, 2017
Samuel T
10
A 3 groove pitman arm will have three grooves or solid lines within the splined section. On these types of vehicles there were either a 3 groove or 4 groove. If you are unsure it is recommended to contact the dealership with your VIN number to confirm.
