What can't u do?
Loosen the lock nut on tierod and turn the outer tierod.
It's going to need aligned afterward anyway.

No you put it back together just how you took it apart. The tie rod ends go in from under just like you took them off. Then you will need to take it and get an alignment after you put it back together.

Yes the CST spindle tapers the tie-rods from the top down to allow for better tie-rod angles.

you need to adjust each side in 2.5 turns , thats what my rcd instructions say. Edited by: wolfclan
