It's not always necessary to replace tie rods when replacing a rack and pinion, but it is often recommended. If the tie rods show signs of wear, damage, or play, they should be replaced to ensure proper steering performance and alignment. Additionally, since the labor for replacing the rack and pinion involves accessing the tie rods, doing both at the same time can save on future labor costs. Always consult a mechanic for a thorough inspection before making a decision.

Will the rack and pinion steering system cause the rotors to warp or cause a shudder while braking?

Rack and pinion steering will not cause warped rotors. The tie rods, which are part of the system, can cause a vibration if the bushings on the ends are worn out. Warped rotors will do the same thing, and this will show up when applying the brakes.

How do you replace tie rod ends on a 1998 Lincoln Continental?

The 1998 Ford/Lincoln Continental came equipped in 4.6L V8. Replacing the outer tie rods should be done in pairs. The steps are lifting the vehicle, pulling the front wheel/tires, removing the cotter pins and wrenching off the outers rods from the inners. After reassembly in reverse order, the vehicle will require a wheel alignment. The OEM Ford Motorcraft outer tie rods for the application are part #MEOE149. The inners are #MEOE34.

When working on the differential it's important to understand that it's far more than just replacing the part. If the pinion gear is not matched and properly adjusted to the ring gear, the differential will howl and fail prematurely. The process is not something that can be easily described, you really do need to have someone show you how.
