Those Ford Mustangs--gotta love them. However, even they need to have their tie rod ends attended to when they don't track straight any more, even after you get that beauty aligned. Fortunately for you, you can replace those tie rod ends and hit the road again (after an alignment) in style.
Get the proper tie rod ends for your Ford Mustang. Not all tie rod ends are equal, and they vary from model year to model year. The tie rod ends often come with nuts, as well as a cotter pin (think bobby pin on steroids).
Loosen the lug nuts on the front tires, but don't remove the tires. Jack up your Mustang and replace the jack with jack stands. Remove the tires while the Mustang is in the air.
Remove both nuts on the tie rod ends, and mark the position of the tie rod end on the threaded portion of the tie rod with paint or a marker.
Use a tie rod puller to separate the tie rod from the steering knuckle.
Screw on the new tie rod end to the mark you made on the threaded portion of the tie rod, and tighten both nuts to 59 foot pounds.
Repeat the above steps for the other tie rod end, then put back on the tires and tighten the lug nuts to 98 foot pounds. Get your Mustang aligned, and hit the road.
