How do you change out the ignition switchmartin - 1989 Cadillac Eldorado - Steering & Suspension - 7/24/2012

7/24/2012 brentwfsmithFirst disconnect the negative battery terminal. Keep the key switch in the locked position. Not doing that can cause you problems later on. Next remove the lower steering column. Then loosen the nuts on the upper column, this will let the column drop. DO NOT REMOVE THEM ALL THE WAY, because the steering shaft can break under it's own weight. remove the 2 bolts on the switch. When you remove the switch hold on to the rod with one hand, or it could come disconnected from the lock cylinder, which will mean you will have to remove the steering wheel and a bunch of crap to reconnect it. Replace the switch in the reverse.

Does my car have tie rods and how often should they be replaced? Also, should I replace both the outer and inner?curious - 2004 Cadillac CTS - Steering & Suspension - 6/19/2012

6/19/2012 HouseCallAutoyes there are tie rods, both inner and outer. i know for sure that outer tie rod ends wear out on CTS. Just replace what is worn out, no need to replace the inners unless they have excessive wear or looseness. zThey do not get replaced on a regular basis, only as needed.
