'87 MrkIII passenger inner tie rod

[Bru]

Toyota dropped the damper after 1988. So evidently it doesn't make a big difference. What I did when I replaced my passenger side inner tie rod was to use a set of wrenches from Harbor Freight that got quite large in the mm selection to hold the rack and a very large Crescent wrench from Harbor Freight to remove an install that big flat threaded nut that holds on the support bracket for the damper shock. One thing to be careful of when you get down to the final tightening is to have the damper bracket pointing at the proper level so it's not cocked down and rubbing the splash pan later. It wants to slip and move when you get to the final tightening. I used red thread locker just to be on the safe side. 2 wrenches are necessary so that you don't put stress on the rack and pinon or you could damage it. Remember to bend over the new locking flat washer that comes with your new inner tie rod. It's called a claw washer to hold the inner tie rod from turning once its installed.
