TIE RODS

[f5fstop]

I just ordered an inner and outer tie rod, and they will be at the dealer tomorrow....

25781473 Inner Tie Rod 16mm
15907712 Outer Tie Rod 16mm

I have been told these will fit all H3s. 2007 vehicles produced after VIN 108975 have the 16mm tie rods from the factory. Those who have had a complete steering gear with inner and outer tie rods replaced, may have the 16mm size rods.
2007 vehicles produced before that VIN number and all 2006 vehicles use a 14mm inner and outer tie rod. I have been assured the larger 16mm rods will fit into the existing gear used on the 14mm rods.
So, for 2007 vehicles after the above VIN number, you only need to replace whichever one you bust (inner or outer). For those 2007 vehicles built before the VIN or 2006 vehicles, to replace one with a 16mm rod, the other on the same side also has to be replaced.

Now, have I completely confused everyone????
