    I think the tie rods on my 2003 Prius need to be replaced.
    Is it very different to replace than a Second Gen Prius?
    Can I use the same videos?

    I would think for the steering ends yes . I believe your car's manualvtack with motor assist in car . But non that matters . Getting rack and rod ends off is same for all racked cars pretty much. I take them off together the inner rack end and the outer tie rod end. That way I can measure the systems make up the exact measurements and I stall and be centered no setting toe.
