Is there a standard number of revolutions for a tie rod end? If not about how many. The vehicle has 118,000 miles on it.

Answers from the Automotive Experts

Brad, When replacing a tie rod end, I always count how many turns it takes to come off. Then, I put the new one on with the same amount of turns. This is not a sure way of having the correct alignment. I always do recommend you do an alignment after replacing a tie rod. Counting the turns just usually gets you pretty close to where it needs to be. Suzanne
