    Is this the right inner tie rod tool?

    It says: "Fits Most GM, Ford, & Chrysler" but this is the only kind they have on Ebay. If it's not right what should I be looking for and where? Thanks.

    why would you think a domestic tool would work on a import? think man think, the only tools you should need to replace the tie rods are metric wrenches and a pair of needle noses, and you might wanna jack it up in the air and take the wheel off. that might make it a little more easy.

    All you need is a crow foot wrench and a hammer and a alignment tool. I did all my tie rods in my car a couple of months ago.

    Lisle tools makes an inner tie-rod end tool that has several inserts for a variety of cars... but it also costs $60. If you don't plan on doing too many of these jobs in your lifetime, take the advice above and grab a crow's foot (I think it's 19mm, but don't quote me) and a long extension and go to town.

    We managed with a screwdriver and a wrench. Only took an hour for both sides, inners and outers.

    for me domestic is metric... I'm an international student that still cant get used to inches, feet and so on... But thanks a lot for the comments.
