how to remove inner tie rod from 96 sentra

It was a fairly straightforward job on my 1987 Sentra. The only problem was finding an appropriate wrench to get on the very big nut. One of my 1" adjustables just fit. A set of service wrenches would probably have one the right size. Have you moved the tires around to see if the vibration changes? One always suspects tires/wheels first. I'd expect a loose inner tie rod end to cause tire wear but not vibration as it does not rotate. Good luck. Al

thanks for your reply. yes, i moved the suspect tire/wheel to another sentra and it checked fine. after that, i replaced the left halfshaft and it seemed to help slightly. the reason i suspected the left side is because this auto had body damage repair on that fender before i purchased it.

so my delema is whether to replace the inner and outer tierod (i cannot tell if there is any damage but there does seem to be more "play" in the yaw direction on this wheel than the other wheel) OR to replace the right halfshaft. the right cv joint was making noise in left turns when i purchased the auto but there has been no noise for at least a year. note: both outer cv boots were badly cracked when i purchased the auto about 5 years ago and i disassembled/cleaned/repacked and replaced both outer boots at that time.

maybe i should replace the right halfshaft and elim> >

If different tires don't make any difference, then maybe replacing the other halfshaft is the next step. A vibation at a certain speed would cause me to suspect a rotating component as opposed to the steering parts. Indeed, the prevalence of FWD has brought the price of axle shafts down a lot so it's cost effective to try that first. Worn tie rod ends, inner or outer, should show up as uneven tire wear and noticeable play in yaw which you can visibly trace to the offending tie rod. Doesn't sound like you've got that. Good luck. Al
