FAQs

Is this for the left or right side of the vehicle?

This specific assembly (12699) is designed for the front right side only.

Do I need special tools to install this?

Yes, you generally need a tie rod removal tool, a torque wrench, and standard metric socket/wrench sets.

Why is alignment necessary?

Even a minor difference in thread length compared to the original part will alter the toe setting, which affects tire wear and handling.

Does this assembly come greased?

Yes, Febi components typically come pre-lubricated for immediate installation.

Can I install just the tie rod end?

While technically possible, replacing the full assembly ensures that both the inner and outer joints are at the same wear level, improving overall safety.

Troubleshooting

Steering wheel is off-center after installation

The vehicle requires a professional wheel alignment to reset the toe settings.

Persistent clunking noise after replacement

Check that all mounting bolts and the jam nut are tightened to the manufacturer's specified torque.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before beginning installation, verify the part number 12699 against your vehicle’s VIN or service manual to ensure it matches your specific make and model. Installation should be performed on a level surface with the vehicle properly supported by jack stands. After securing the tie rod to the steering knuckle and the rack-and-pinion unit, tighten all fasteners to manufacturer-specified torque settings. Crucially, always schedule a professional four-wheel alignment after fitting this part. To maintain, inspect the dust boots periodically for tears or cracks, as keeping debris out of the joints is vital for longevity.
