This part basically connects your steering rack to the steering knuckle on your wheel. It’s a metal rod, and at each end there’s a ball joint—a swivel. Those joints let you steer, they allow the movement for turning the wheels. The castle nuts and cotter pins? They’re a safety feature. The nut tightens down on the ball joint, and the cotter pin actually goes through a little hole in the nut and the rod. It physically prevents the nut from backing off due to vibrations and normal wear. Think of it like this: when you turn the steering wheel, the steering rack pushes or pulls on these tie rods. The tie rods then move the wheels left or right. It’s a direct link between your input at the steering wheel and what the wheels are actually doing. There's usually an inner tie rod and an outer tie rod on each side. This listing appears to be for the complete assembly, which is great. These are a safety critical part. If a tie rod bends or a ball joint wears out, you’ll lose steering control. You’ll notice if something is going bad – usually it starts with wandering steering, where the car doesn’t track straight, or maybe some clunking noises when you go over bumps. A worn tie rod is a big deal. You really want to address it immediately. We carry a good selection of these at Fixparts Online, and it’s something you can tackle yourself if you’re comfortable with front end work, but if not, getting it checked by a professional is always best.
