It basically connects your steering rack to the steering knuckle – the part that holds your wheel on. It’s a ball – and – socket joint, so it allows the wheel to steer left and right while still supporting the weight of the vehicle. It has a threaded section for adjustment and a rubber boot that keeps the grease in and the dirt out. Think of it as a crucial link in the chain that translates when you turn the steering wheel into actual wheel movement. Without these working properly, you won’t have precise control of where the car goes. There are inner and outer tie rod ends, and they work together. The outer one gets more of the direct force from the road, while the inner one is more protected. If these wear out, you’ll notice if you’re getting vibrations in the steering wheel, especially when braking. Also, you’ll probably experience wandering – the car doesn't stay straight and requires constant correction. Ultimately, worn tie rod ends mean imprecise steering and, if they fail completely, loss of steering control. It's a safety item, for sure. You can find a good selection of these at places like Fixparts Online, and it’s usually something best replaced in pairs, so both sides get new parts at the same time. It keeps everything aligned and working smoothly. Quality you can count on: Cup (MPN 8E0419831B) comes with a 12-month warranty!
