This part basically connects your steering rack to the outer tie rod. It’s a threaded rod, so it lets you adjust the toe – that’s how much your wheels point inward or outward. You can fine – tune the alignment with this. The lock nut, naturally, keeps that adjustment from backing off. It clamps everything secure. Think of your steering system like a chain. The steering wheel turns, that motion goes through a series of components, and the tie rods are the very last link before it actually turns the wheels. The inner tie rod is tucked away up near the steering rack, it's not something you see right away. The outer tie rod connects to this, and then connects directly to the wheel knuckle. It all works together to translate your steering input into actual wheel movement. It's really important for a few reasons. First, worn inner tie rods cause sloppy steering. You’ll notice if your car wanders on the highway or feels loose. Second, a failing tie rod is a safety issue. If it completely separates, you lose steering control, plain and simple. It's also part of your alignment, so if it’s damaged, you won’t be able to get a proper alignment. A bad alignment causes uneven tire wear, and that gets expensive quick. You can find these pretty easily, places like Fixparts Online stock them. Replacing them is usually done in pairs, just to be sure everything is even and you don’t have to come back in a few months to do the other side. It's a relatively straightforward repair, but it's critical for safety and how your car handles. Choose Blue Print: Inner Tie Rod with Lock Nut (MPN ADG08770) is protected by a 12-month warranty!
