JAR1228 TRW Inner Tie Rod

This part basically connects your steering rack to your wheel, allowing the up – and – down and side – to – side movement needed to steer. It's a ball and socket joint, so it pivots – lets things move smoothly. It has an inner part that connects to the rack and an outer part that attaches to the steering knuckle on the wheel itself. It’s got a rubber boot over it, that keeps the grease in and dirt out. It's a critical piece of your steering system. When you turn the steering wheel, this joint is what actually translates that motion into turning your wheels. It works along with other steering components, but this is a direct link. Think of it like the muscles in your arm—it’s doing the work of moving things. Well, if this starts to wear out, you’ll notice a few things. Usually it begins with loose steering—a little vagueness, maybe the car doesn’t feel quite as responsive. Over time it can develop play, and you’ll start feeling vibrations through the steering wheel, especially when going over bumps. Eventually, it can fail completely, making steering dangerous. It acts like a shield protecting the rest of the steering system from impact and wear, and when that shield weakens, problems start to show up. You can find these pretty easily if you’re doing it yourself—Fixparts Online has a good selection, and they usually have diagrams to help you figure out exactly what you need. It’s a relatively straightforward repair, but it’s something you want to address quickly for safety’s sake. Reliable engineering: Tie Rod Axle Joint (MPN JAR1228) includes a 12-month warranty!
