It’s a pretty simple part, really. It basically connects your steering rack to the steering knuckle, which is the part that holds your wheel on. It has a ball joint in it that allows that connection to pivot, letting you steer. It also has a threaded section for adjustment, so you can get your alignment just right. Think of it as a key link in your steering system. When you turn the steering wheel, the rack moves, and the tie rod end transfers that motion to actually turn the wheels. There are inner and outer tie rod ends – the outer ones do more of the actual steering work, being right next to the wheel. It's all about translating your steering input into wheel movement. Well, if these wear out, things get shaky. You’ll notice if you start feeling play in the steering, like the wheel isn't solid. It can also cause uneven tire wear, because if the steering isn't precise, your tires won't roll smoothly. It acts like a shield protecting the more expensive components of your steering system, so when it goes, it's cheaper to replace this than, say, the steering rack. Ignoring worn tie rod ends is risky because they can eventually fail completely, meaning you lose steering control. You can find them pretty easily at places like Fixparts Online, and honestly, it’s a part you don’t want to put off replacing when it’s showing signs of wear.
