I need to change my inner Tie rods as the joints are worn but I can't find any specific advice on the process. Had anyone done this before and have any advice?
I will be changing the tie rod ends too as they are seized, I've done this before on other cars and is quite straight forward.

Hi,
After having to do this recently I thought I'd post up how to do this.
I have a Twingo RS 133 2009 model.

Does any one know how to replace it, I have managed to get tools to fit in the gap to undo the bolt but as far as I can tell it is too big to remove. Does the engine have to be lifted or dropped?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. :-)
I am just going to buy a whole new arm with the ball joint. I can't have my car off the road too long and I can't risk not getting it finished. When I get the old one off I will have a play with getting the joint out. Got myself a cheap welder from aldi so I will prob end up doing the...
