I have finally got around to re sealing my steering rack but have run into an issue.
i can’t seem to get the tie rod ends out of the joint due to the bottom of the strut being in the way. A PO had installed bilstien suspension which looks to be causing the issue.
I managed to get mine off by turning the steering full lock. This was with kw3 so the clearance may have been different.
+1. I had to turn the steering a certain way, tight clearance but I was able to wiggle them out. This was also with KWs but worth a try before you unbolt the strut.
