Tie Rod End - 53541-S54-003
An automotive tie rod end is a crucial component of the steering system that connects the steering rack or gearbox to the steering knuckle. It allows for the transfer of steering motion to the wheels, enabling precise control and directional stability. Typically equipped with a ball joint, the tie rod end allows for movement in multiple directions while maintaining a secure connection. Proper functioning of tie rod ends is essential for safe handling, accurate steering alignment, and overall vehicle stability.
Tie rods are an essential part of your vehicle's steering system. Tie rods connect the steering gear (or rack and pinion gear) to the wheel using a length of rod with a ball-in-socket on one end. The ball-in-socket mechanism allows the wheels to move up and down and side to side in a controlled movement. This enables a smooth ride as the vehicle navigates different types of road surfaces, bumps, potholes, etc. The most common steering designs use an inner tie rod attached to the steering gear and an outer tie rod that connects the inner tie rod to the wheel assembly. The length of thread that attaches the inner and outer tie rods is adjustable and is used to set a car's front wheel alignment.
