yeah i realise that now, ra40 celicas have inner and outer tie rods which was why i was confused
ra40 inner tie rods and outer LCA bushes are proving very difficult to find <_< and i need both to continue :angry:
outer tie rod?
do you just mean tie rod?
if so the rack end screws into it (rack end being the one with the thread on it, and screws into the tie rod)
its just out side that picture.
should have some 19mm? 17mm? nuts on them, and you just get 2 spanners on them and go either way, then just screw it off.
the tie rod might be a bit stuffed, so might have to use multigrips if spanners don't do it.
you can see the thread and stuff I'm talking about in this pic

AJPS has both of these man, probably on the shelf too. He's helped me out a few times when i've been in a bind.
my tie rods were reverse thread so make sure ur doing it the right way
stroked 2L ca18-ae86 in the build...eta xmas 2012?
has anyone had a problem with bolt threads?
the thread on my outer tie rods is a little bit stuffed at the top. its only a couple of threads at the top, the rest of it is good, is there a away to fix this?
i got new bolts from toyota today so they are definately the right size, just need a solution, if there is one, to get the bolts on <_<
You mean to get the nut on?
You could get what is called a thread file. It is a tool that has the form of the thread on it and you can use it to restore slightly damaged external thread (eg. bolts). you wold need a metric one. See the link below for a pic of what to look for:
Get a new or another second hand one. [best way <<]
You could probably cut off the bad part and smooth the edges (with a nut on there first) then undo the nut and it will cut the thread. Wind it on and off a few times.
You will possibly run into wheel alignment problems cutting it off because you may lose adjustment.
