The air intake system runs between the radiator and the front of the engine cover with plenty of space to keep the incoming air charge cool. The 2.3 is built off the same family of architecture as the 2-iter so they go down the same line; they have the same machine centers.
The inner tie rod ends are attached to either end of the center link and provides pivot points for the steering gear. From there it goes to the outer tie rod ends through an adjustment sleeve. This sleeve joins the inner and outer tie rod ends together and allows for adjustment when the front wheels are aligned. The outer tie rod ends are connected to the steering knuckle that actually turns the front wheels.
Use a stand, don't trust a jack. The outer tie rod end is the coupling between the wheel knuckle and the rack and pinion steering. To r â¦ eplace an outer tie rod end you need to: 1. Pull the cotter pin out of the threaded connector. 2. Loosen the jam nut and mark the position of the tie rod. 3. Remove the cotter pin.fter you get them off slip new boots on the tie rod inner, screw the outer onto the inner and do the reverse of the install. The first one might take you 35 min. But the second one shouldn't take more then 10 min.
