FEBI42734 Febi Tie Rod End

This part basically connects your steering rack to the steering knuckle – it's a pivotal point in the steering system. It allows for the up and down and side – to – side movement needed to steer, and it does it while handling a lot of stress. The castellated nut, that’s the one with the little slots, allows you to install a cotter pin. That pin locks the nut in place and keeps it from backing off due to vibrations, which is pretty important. Think of it as a key component of how your wheels know where to go when you turn the steering wheel. It takes the motion from the steering rack and translates it into actual wheel movement. There are actually several tie rod ends in most vehicles – an inner and an outer, and sometimes an intermediate one too. They all work together. This is a safety item, plain and simple. A worn tie rod end can cause really vague steering – feeling loose or wandering on the road. You’ll notice if one goes bad, usually with vibrations in the steering wheel or uneven tire wear. Eventually, it can lead to a complete loss of steering control, so it’s not something you want to ignore. If you suspect yours are worn, it's best to get them checked out right away. You can often find a replacement pretty easily; we carry a good selection at Fixparts Online, and other auto parts stores will too. Replacing them isn't usually too difficult, but it is important to get the alignment checked afterwards.
