When they wear, you get looseness in the steering, uneven tire wear, and unpredictable handling at speed. On a rear-wheel-drive V8 platform like the GTO, worn steering components become a safety and performance concern fast. The PED-PRE1203 restores the tight, responsive feel the GTO was built with.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eAbout Pedders Suspension\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePedders Suspension is an Australian engineering company with decades of experience building OEM-quality and performance suspension components for rear-wheel-drive platforms. Their products are engineered to meet or exceed original factory specifications, with materials and tolerances chosen for long-term durability in both street and spirited driving conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes for PED-PRE1203\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInner tie rod replacement requires removal of the steering rack boot and use of an inner tie rod tool or equivalent to unthread the old unit. A professional alignment is required after installation. Confirm rack compatibility before installation. PED-PRE1203 is for non-KYB racks only.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWarranty\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePedders backs PED-PRE1203 with a 24-month or 24,000-mile limited warranty from the date of purchase, whichever comes first. Coverage applies to defects in materials and workmanship under normal use conditions. As a steering and suspension component, this warranty is also subject to the disclosure requirements of the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, which ensures consumers receive clear warranty terms for automotive parts sold in the United States.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat vehicles does PED-PRE1203 fit?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nPED-PRE1203 fits the 2004 Pontiac GTO with the 5.7L V8, and the 2005 and 2006 Pontiac GTO with the 6.0L V8, all in the Coupe body style with rear-wheel drive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat racks is PED-PRE1203 compatible with?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nPED-PRE1203 is designed for non-KYB rack and pinion assemblies. If your rack was manufactured by KYB, you need the PTE3051 instead. Check your rack's label or purchase documentation before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs PED-PRE1203 sold as a pair?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nNo. PED-PRE1203 is sold individually, as a single inner tie rod. If you are replacing both sides, you will need to order two units.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo I need a professional alignment after installing PED-PRE1203?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nYes. Any time steering components are replaced, a wheel alignment is required to bring toe settings back into spec. Skipping an alignment after inner tie rod replacement will cause accelerated tire wear and handling issues.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat tools do I need to install PED-PRE1203?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nYou will need an inner tie rod removal tool (also called a tie rod socket or rack end tool), standard hand tools, and access to an alignment rack afterward. It is recommended to have a qualified mechanic perform this installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do I know if my inner tie rod needs to be replaced?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nCommon signs of a worn inner tie rod include steering wheel vibration, a clunking or knocking noise when turning, loose or vague steering feel, and uneven or feathered tire wear on the front axle. A technician can perform a shake test to confirm inner tie rod wear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs PED-PRE1203 an OEM replacement or an upgrade?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nPED-PRE1203 is engineered to OEM specifications as a direct replacement for the factory inner tie rod on non-KYB GTO racks. It restores original steering geometry and feel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes PED-PRE1203 require any modifications to fit?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nNo modifications are required. PED-PRE1203 is a direct-fit replacement for the 2004, 2005, and 2006 Pontiac GTO on non-KYB racks. Follow Pedders installation instructions and confirm rack compatibility.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the warranty on PED-PRE1203?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nPedders offers a 24-month or 24,000-mile limited warranty from the date of purchase.
