3856401 LEMFÖRDER TIE ROD END

Basically, it’s a pivoting connection between your steering rack and the steering knuckle – which holds your wheel assembly. It allows the wheel to steer left and right. It's got a ball joint inside that lets everything move smoothly, and a rubber boot around it to keep the grease in and the dirt out. Think of it as part of the connection that takes the movement from your steering wheel and actually turns the wheels. The tie rod end is one piece of a system that includes the steering rack, tie rod, and the wheel hub. It transmits the force, allowing you to control where the car goes. It's not something that works alone, it needs the other parts to function correctly. Well, if this goes bad, your steering gets loose and imprecise. It’s a safety thing. You’ll notice if it’s failing because your steering might feel sloppy, wandering on the road, or you could even feel vibrations. The ball joint wears over time, the boot can crack, and then things start to get wobbly. It acts like a shield protecting the joint from road grime, but that boot won’t last forever. Replacing it keeps everything tight and predictable, which is critical for safe handling. You can often find these for a good price at places like Fixparts Online if you’re looking to do the work yourself. It’s a relatively common repair, especially on older vehicles or ones that have seen a lot of use on rough roads. Your satisfaction is our priority: Tie Rod End (MPN 3856401) includes a 12-month warranty!
