so i replaced my driver outer tie rod end and i had to bend the threaded part so it could go back in. on other cars i have never had to do that. i normally replace them when they can be easily moved back n forth. i could not get it in with out moving it a little. is that normal for the xj300?

also when i remove the stub axle assembly all i need to do is

remove caliper and set to side
Remove outer tie rod end
remove upper ball joint and separate
remove lower ball joint bolts( bottom of it) and then remove nut and sepperate
this will allow me to pull off the stub axle correct?

 

i just did the driver side. i took a bunch of pics and everything i will make a diy for

outer tie rod ends
upper ball joint
lower ball joint


inside door handle




just for people in the future do not get EURO SPARE parts

every single one required modification to fit properly

 

OK today I will finish the other side . My camera died when I was half way done. So ill finish the DIY pic today.

 

Hi
Thanks for taking the time and make the post. I look forward to seeing the pics of this. Sorry the camera died........ I'm considering doing some suspension work when the weather clears..
