    Hello.

    I am after replacing the steering gear. During the replacement, I heard from the mechanic that the pin needs to be replaced because it has play. I told him to replace. On receipt, he said that he had forgotten about it.
    When replacing the steering gear, the rocker pin is disassembled ?? Was it the end of the tie rod? I wanted to replace it after this pseudo-mechanic.

    I am asking because when asking how much it costs to replace the pin, he replied "already removed".

    I explained a little wrong. They replaced the steering gear. They set the toe-in. During the exchange, he said that the pin was broken. But he did not name him. My question is did he mean the rocker arm pin?

    You wrote well, buddy: "pseudomechanic".
    Who in their right mind sets toe-in, since he previously found play in the suspension / steering. First, delete these clearances and only then set the toe-in.

    I am just going to diagnose it. However, could he unscrew the rocker arm pin to replace the steering gear? Was it a pin built into the end of the tie rod?

    If you want to replace it, what's the problem? Unless someone else is to do so.
    Lift the wheel and you will see where you move where the play is.
    Kicked the tip but could feel there was play on the pin.
    Check on your own.

    Move the steering wheel gently, left-right, do not turn it hard, just move. The other person puts a hand on the steerer pin and tries to feel if there is any play. Knock, knock when starting the steering wheel, as well as changing the position of the tip to the switch? will inform you about the ease.
    Lift the wheel and grab the tire at the top and bottom, move as if you want to swing the wheel to the side, not turn - when turning, you can also feel the play in the steering tips.
    The third option is to go to the SKP, where I usually detect what and where is worn, broken, and this option could be the best, because with "one removal of the wheel" you will be able to replace the worn parts.
