Did my OTREs last August and had to wobble up to get an alignment.
I Learned from my mistakes and it doesn't even feel like she needs an alignment after doing the inners today. It'll be interesting to see the numbers at the alignment shop in the morning.
I bought some skinny wrenches for this job per The Toolman's video. I also went with ACDELCOs as I've only driven 47K miles in the last 10 years and those OEM inners aren't cheap.
Trouble is, the ACDELCOs have even
less room to grip than what was on there.
Ended up using an inner tie rod tool from Autozone to tighten them and even that barely fit. Hope that didn't screw up my rack.
One thing for sure though - a good portion of time spent on this was getting those damn boot clamps on. I might have just used zip ties but I'd bought 2 brand new clamps for this and by God they weren't going to waste.
