Tie Rod

Tie rods are critical steering system components that connect the steering rack or center link to the steering knuckle. They transmit steering input from the driver to the wheels, allowing precise directional control. Tie rods consist of an inner and outer section, often with ball-and-socket joints for flexibility. Over time, they can wear due to constant movement and exposure to road debris, causing steering looseness or uneven tire wear. Replacing worn tie rods restores accurate steering response and ensures vehicle safety. High-quality tie rods improve handling, maintain alignment, and contribute to a smoother, more controlled driving experience on various terrains.
