inner tie rod replacement
last night got an opportunity to change my inner tie rods.
the process turned to be a little bit more simple than i expected.
the size of tie rods head for a wrench is about 41mm (caliper showed 40.81) or 1 5/8th. (see pic attached) , i heard some people have used a crow foot wrench , but i couldnt find any fast and around my area so decided to give this a try...and it worked perfectly.
see link below for a tool

P.S. make sure you get the right ends , because they different for 4matic and regular RWD , also not sure but e350 might be different from e550s (i got) ... but anyways , DO YOUR RESEARCH

steering wheel felt too light(i realized it after i changed the tie rod end).
Right now i move it left to right and right to left and it feels smoother and firmer
Also seems like that the steering wheel goes to back to center itself a little faster and without me trying to help it.
