ADC48735 Blue Print Tie Rod End

This part connects your steering rack to the steering knuckle – basically, it’s one of the links in the chain that lets you turn your wheels. It’s a ball – and – socket joint, so it allows for movement while still being strong enough to handle all the forces from the road. The castellated nut is important too. It's a special kind of nut with slots cut into it. That lets you insert a cotter pin, which physically prevents the nut from loosening due to vibrations. Think of your steering system like your arm. The steering wheel is like your hand, the steering rack is like your elbow, and the tie rod ends are like your forearm connecting it all to your knuckles – where the wheels actually turn. They’re part of what translates your steering wheel movements into wheel direction. There are inner and outer tie rod ends, and they work together. This particular part is usually the outer one, closer to the wheel itself. These are safety items, plain and simple. If a tie rod end goes bad, you'll notice if you have loose steering, wandering on the road, uneven tire wear, or even vibrations. A worn tie rod end can eventually completely separate, and that would mean a total loss of steering control. It acts like a shield against the bumps and stresses of driving, but like anything it wears out over time. Replacing them is preventative maintenance and keeps you safe. You can find these pretty easily online, places like Fixparts Online carry a good selection. It’s definitely something you don’t want to put off if you suspect a problem. Eco-friendly and safe: Tie Rod End with Castellated Nut (MPN ADC48735) comes with a 12-month warranty!
