This tool did not fit the inner tie rods my 2007 Ford Expedition so I had to send it back to Amazon. Good thing I checked first before I tore the car apart. Better measure your inner tie rod flats first before buying this tool. It might work ok on some cars, but I can tell you for a fact it will not fit a 2007 Expedition.

Update: I found that a small pipe wrench with a cheater pipe will spin the inner tie rods off a 2007 Expedition no problem. Use blue locktite on the threads and install the new one, no problem. Use a hose clamp for the boot. Replaced the inner and outer tie rods on both sides in about 4 hours, no problem, but it now needs a alignment, which I was going to have done anyway.

It is always something.

The product functioned as advertised, but was of obviously poor build quality. Light could be seen through one of the welds for example. The use of the allen wrench to tighten the tool down onto the inner tie rod was quite awkward as well. Since it is so cheap I think it is okay if you only plan on using it for a couple jobs, but if you want something to keep around, spend a few more dollars on a better tool.

this is a great product, works as expected, saves you from having to buy a big set, if you do not know the size.

this is a great tool, i got it on time and in exelent condition, i recoment this tool if you are a mechanic for every day purpose or if you want to save some time and money, no more pipe wrench vise grips etc.

i use it in few diferent cars and its great.
