Using these tie rods is straightforward. Just replace your old tie rods with these new Stage 3 Tie Rod Assemblies in your 2001 - 2010 GMC/Chevrolet 2500HD/3500HD with a 6.6L Duramax engine. Remember, they're sold in pairs, so you'll get two at once. When it comes to installation, if you have an aftermarket steering system that has changed the placement of the tie rod mounting perch on the front spindle, the outer tie rods can be trimmed. But it's best to have an experienced installer measure and do the trimming. For maintenance, regularly check the ball joints and the toe - adjusting shaft. Look for any signs of wear and tear. Keep them clean and lubricated to ensure they last a long time and keep your steering in top shape.
