same way they come off..be sure to use new cotter pins and take it to get an alignment right away or you can ruin tires quick.

There has been some rattling on my passenger side and I had the car up this weekend and shook the tire a little and its coming from right inside the rubber sleeve of the rack where I guess the tie rod starts? Its loose right inside there. This would be the inner right? Can I just replace that? It like $15 at autozone.
You only have to replace the inner. I've never done it on a stang but I think all you have to do is drill out a pin or something and it comes out. If the outer isn't bad, why replace it. Definitly take it for an alignment, even if it pulls straight I garentee its way off.
