Your Tie rod (steering rod) worn out? » Read more about common malfunctions • Repair • Replacement manual
Steering tie rods can be found in all modern cars and guarantee a safe and prompt transfer of the steering movements of the steering wheel on the wheels. Damage to the rod or the entire rod mechanism has an immediate effect on the steering performance. Replacement of this spare part is therefore not to be delayed.
Steering tie rod function in cars
The tie rod is one of the most important parts in the car's rod mechanism. As a rule, each axle is equipped with two tie rods, each being responsible for its own wheel, transferring the driver's steering movements. In Great Britain these rods are generally referred to as track rods. In their original use, these rods were responsible for the adjustment of the wheel track in order to avoid an unbalanced abrasion of the tyres. Modern tie rods consist of a metal tube, two screw threads for length adjustment and joints, most in the form of a ball-head at both ends.
Typical damage and repair of the steering tie rod
Due to their sturdy material, tie rods hardly ever sustain damage in daily traffic. Possible defects occur through corrosion in very old vehicles. A rod mechanism could become distorted after an accident or the collision of the underbody with an object. Distortion of the rods is the most common damage, making steerage of the car impossible or erratic. For many car manufacturers and model ranges the replacement of the tie rod is relatively simple, as it is a purely mechanical car part. For the installation of a new part traditional manual skill is required.
