Performance Tool W83027 3/8 In. Inner Tie Rod Tool for Removal and Installation, Low-Profile, Black

This item was not only affordable but very easy to used. I was looking at other more sophisticated tools to remove the inner tie rod but the reviews for this item persuade me to get it and I change my inner tie rod within minutes, all I did was undo clamp tool and clamp it over tie rod and removed by hand. You can used the 3/8 extension tool and ratchet if the tie rod is tight but in my case it wasn't. Thank you!

A local repair shop quoted $160 labor to replace an inner tie rod end which subsequently provided sufficient motivation to make the repair. Purchased Performance Tool W1204P ball joint separator along with W83027 inner tie rod tool from separate online retailers. Both tools make the repair relatively easy albeit be sure to align the tie rod indentations with the u-bolt. Tighten/snug the 14mm u-bolt nuts to prevent the tool from spinning/slipping while removing the tie rod end. Put some locktite on the inner tie rod end threads for reassurance. Thoroughly satisfied with the quality of both tools.

Lost my tool needed a new one located this one during an online search ordered and arrived within the time frame stated on the order no issues works perfect just s good as my more expensive one that I misplaced

A very economical tool to facilitate the removal of the tie rods. It also depends on the accessibility of the tie rods. I used it on a nissan titan which made easy removal.

For the weekend warrior and do it urselfer, it worked great on my 08' Honda Civic. There are other options out there for mechanics that maybe easier to use, but for the money, this tool, in my opinion, is the one to get.

i buy this tool to open my inner tie rod i need specail tool like this , this tool work in very tight space and it has very first grip , easy to use and easy to install , it made of rigid material and un break able . value of the money .

I used this item last weekend. It took less than 5 minutes from start to finish to attach this tool. I used it to remove to the Inner Tie Rod attachment between the Rack and Pinion and Outer Tie Rod on the passenger side of my car. The Alignment Shop I went to said I needed to replace the entire Rack and Pinion for the steering. They said it would cost thousands of dollars for parts and labor. I replaced the Inner Tie Rod myself and the part only cost $35.00. The entire job took less than 1 hour. It was an easy job. I highly recommend this item for (DIY) Do It Yourselfers. Easy Peasy......

good quality product. worked well for my tie rods. it was also 50% cheaper than competitiors. i highly recommend

Terrible product and quality doesn't grip the tie rod

The tool worked as described and was satisfactory. It could be improved however!
