You will jack that side of the car up, remove the wheel, and you may have to remove the brake rotor and caliper to get to it. The caliper will be held on with two bolts, one on the back top and back bottom. After that, you will have access to the tie rod end. When you get to it, there will be a nut and possibly a cotter pin to remove and just tap it with a hammer and it will fall out. Also, when putting the new tie rod end on, mark where the old one was mounted on inner tie rod. They should be threaded together. If you don't get it back to where it originally was mounted, you alignment will be WAY off. After replacement you will have to get an alignment at some point, but you can drive just fine as long as you match it up.

1993 Ford Thunderbird LX lubing ports location.

Question edited for full year MAKER model.
Question moved from Fitness Equipment category.

Limited information in the link. Really you need a workshop manual and then refer to the section that you might want to lube. Anything that moves like hinges, you just give them a squirt of oil. Engine oil and filter are the main lube concern. Things like steering joints have grease n1pples that you connect a grease gun to. I don't know of anything that is referred to as a 'lubing port'.

2002 Ford Thunderbird, power steering semi hard, makes whining noise in power steering system when wheel is turned

fords are notorious for this problem . the noise your hearing is air trapped inside the pump . try to bleed the system by slowly turning the sreering wheel from stop to stop . if you still have a problem it might just need a new pump . very inexpensive easy fix

Broken steering coloumn on a 1993 Isuzu Rodeo

Maybe the coupling on bottom of column that connects to the rack and pinion came loose. The coupling may be held tight by a pinch bolt.

I need to know how to change the ignition on a 95 Thunderbird LX

Contrary to the repair manual; you do not need to remove the steering wheel. Remove the bottom dash panel below the steering wheel and then the bottom black steering wheel cover (3 screws). You will see a 1/8 inch hole and pin below the lock set. Put the key lock in the neutral position and push the pin and remove the ignition lock set. Put the new lock set in the neutral position and insert it. Turn it to the off position which resets the lock pin.
