Rack Ends

Rack Ends

Rack ends, also known as inner tie rods, connect the steering rack to the outer tie rods, transmitting motion to the wheels. They allow flexibility and precise steering by accommodating suspension movement while maintaining alignment. Rack ends are enclosed in protective boots to shield them from dirt and moisture, but wear can still occur due to constant use. Symptoms of worn rack ends include steering play, clunking noises, and uneven tire wear. Replacing them is crucial for maintaining safe steering performance. Durable rack ends ensure consistent handling, improved road feedback, and long-term steering system reliability in all driving conditions.
