Check wear of tie rod inner joint using the following procedure.

1. Check boot on steering for damage. Boot damaged: Replace steering => Not considered W&G damage!

2. Unbolt tie rod outer joint from tie rod inner joint

3. Move the inner joint around multiple times with circular movements of the tie rod
