I wish to change the left side tie rod on a punto mk1 as is working loose, consequently wear took place around close by the steering rack body. Can a bush etc be placed for a new tie rod to prevent a similar occurrence.

To disconnect the gear linkage on a Fiat Punto MK1, first, ensure the vehicle is in neutral and secure it with wheel chocks. Locate the gear linkage, which typically consists of a rod or cable connected to the transmission and the gear lever. Release any retaining clips or bolts securing the linkage, and gently pull it away from the transmission and gear lever to disconnect it. Be cautious not to damage any surrounding components during the process.
There are no timing marks but pins that are put through the head and into the camshaft locking it in the right position. They are dealer parts but you can get aftermarket ones. The crank is then positioned using a rod down the spark plug hole. Again this is available aftermarket. There are 2, one for cyl 1 and one for cyl2

A ferrule is the part of the rod that joins the sections of the rod together. The hollow (female) portion at the end of a rod section receives the male end of the next section.
you put I.G.G.Y on the end of the rod
The ball joint should be permanently in the tie rod end. If it is bad, you have to replace the entire tie rod end.

To remove the tie rod ends from a 2002 Mercury Cougar, start by safely lifting and securing the vehicle. Loosen the nut on the tie rod end but do not completely remove it. Use a tie rod end puller or a hammer to separate the tie rod end from the steering knuckle. Finally, remove the nut and pull the tie rod end out from the steering assembly.
The tie rod end is the ball joint that connects the steering arm to the wheel hub.
