1996 Windstar tie rod ends

How difficult is it to change the tie rod ends on the windstar. I am getting that moaning sound from the tie rods running dry. They are the original ones that came with the car. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The outer tie rod ends are very easy to change. The only special tool needed is a puller. The rest can be done with two open end wrenches and a pair of pliers. You'll need to have a front end alignment done once the new tie rod ends are installed.

a few days before attempting this job I'd suggest you liberally spray some penetrating fluid on the nuts/threads such as PB blaster. I know when I last did mine they were really tough to loosen and some soaking time may help that.

Thanks for the advice. I will start spraying them now while i get the tie rods that way it will be easier for me to get them off.
