I installed a rear camber kit on my accord and when I try to tighten the tie rod nut, the tie rod stud rotates along with the nut. Is this normal for the stud to turn and Is an impact wrench needed to do the job? Thanks
There should be a way to hold the stud while you tighten the nut. I know because the same thing is happening to me with sway bar links. My links have an internal allen socket ends on the end of the stud shafts. Your tie rods probably have solid ends on the studs which would mean you would use a suitably sized socket along with a box wrench for the nut.
My brand new sway bar links the stud began rotating on me so I think it would be normal for that to happen. It's preferable to not use an impact wrench and instead do as suggested.
