Tie Rod
2002 F-350 4x4 diesel
Had to walk out of the bush last night , hit a stump and broke tie rod.
Im guessing I only have to buy the long side , does anyone know by looking at picture?
It looks like it comes apart right near where its broken?
How hard is going to be to get long side off.
The truck is sitting in fairly deep snow, no way to get a tow truck to it.

Doing a bit of looking, you will need to buy the broken part in order to get the truck out. It is attached to the steering knuckle on the passenger side with a ball joint and the steering drag link, which can be seen with the other adjusting sleeve in the upper left portion of the picture, is attached to the tie rod with a ball joint type connection as well. A good pickle fork and hammer should separate both of those connections for you without too much difficulty. After you get it back to civilization, you would definitely want to replace the short side tie rod end as well and get an alignment.
