What is Tie Rod Replacement Service All About?
The tie rod in your vehicle is a very important component of the steering system. It is a thin rod, which is designed to sustain significant tensile loads and transmits pressure from the rack or center link to the steering knuckle. This makes it possible for your vehicle to turn its wheels. Without your tie rod, steering is not possible. Ordinarily, a tie rod lasts for a very long time, and in many cases, it will never need to be replaced. However, hard-driving on rough roads, rust, and time can make your tie rod weak and prone to failure. This is why the tie rod should be visually inspected by your mechanic and replaced if necessary.
