Basically, it connects your steering rack to the outer tie rod. It’s a pretty simple part, but super important for precise steering. It allows the movement from your steering wheel to actually turn the wheels. It pivots, letting the wheels angle left or right, and it has a threaded section so you can adjust your alignment. Think of it as a key link in the steering system. When you turn the wheel, the steering rack pushes or pulls on the inner tie rod. That movement then gets transferred to the outer tie rod, and then to the wheel itself. It works with the outer tie rod, ball joints, and steering rack to make the whole system function smoothly. It’s tucked away, connected directly to the steering rack inside the steering knuckle, so it doesn’t get quite the abuse the outer ones do, but it still takes a beating. If this thing wears out, or gets damaged, you’ll notice if you’re getting loose steering, wandering on the highway, or even uneven tire wear. It can cause vibrations too. It’s a safety thing, honestly. A worn inner tie rod can lead to a loss of steering control, which is obviously not good. They typically don’t give a lot of warning before failing completely, so it's a good idea to replace them in pairs when one goes bad. A lot of folks find the parts they need over at Fixparts Online, they have a good selection. But basically, keeping these in good shape is essential for maintaining control and making sure your tires last as long as they should.
