Lemforder Front Innier Tie Rod 3872801

A tie rod end is an essential part of a vehicle's steering system that connects the steering knuckle to the steering gear. It is comprised of an outer and inner end, with the outer end being threaded to allow for adjustments to the vehicle's wheel alignment. The inner end is connected to the steering gear, which is responsible for turning the wheels when the steering wheel is turned. The tie rod end works in conjunction with the steering linkage to transmit the driver's steering input to the wheels, allowing the vehicle's direction to be controlled.

Over time, the tie rod end can wear or become damaged, resulting in symptoms such as excessive play or looseness in the steering, uneven tire wear, or a vibration in the steering wheel. Regular maintenance and inspections can help prevent these issues from occurring, and replacement of faulty tie rod ends is crucial for maintaining vehicle safety and proper steering function.
