Which way do the tierods face

[shogs]

Which way do the tie rods face? Up or down..or both lol. Can't remember and dont have a manual handy at this moment : /. Trying to get in a few minutes before dark but doubt it'll happen. I'll let you know how I like em once I get them on. Thanks

Up. They only go in one way. The holes and the rod ends are tapered to fit each other.

Thanks I found a picture and ran out to try and get one ride in lol. There on but not on nearly tight enough. Is there a tool to hold the bolt from spinning or am I just supposed to put a bunch of pressure under the tie rod end. I've never put these on or taken them off easily lol. Any suggestions will be appreciated.

If the bolt spins they're wore out, get new ones.

Not completely true. Brand new ones can still spin. Just lay a 2x4 across the face of them, and pop them with a hammer to make 'em seat. Make sure that you don't dent the face.

I did get new ones and they spin. I'll try the 2x4 trick...hopefully that works.

Oh, if that doesn't work, hold up real tight on the tie rod and zip the nut with an impact. Can't go wrong there.

Impact is good way but you'll probably end up with the same problem when you go to take them off...lol
