4277001 LEMFÖRDER AXIAL JOINT

This part basically connects your steering rack to the outer tie rod end. It’s a ball – and – socket joint, allowing the steering to move left and right. It’s all about translating the movement from your steering wheel into actually turning the wheels. There’s a boot on it too – that’s important, it keeps grease in and dirt out. It’s a crucial piece of your steering system. Think of it as one of the links in a chain. The steering rack moves, that pushes or pulls on the inner tie rod, which then pushes or pulls on the outer tie rod, and that turns the wheel. It works with all the other steering components to give you precise control over where the car goes. It’s inside, closer to the center of the vehicle, that’s why it’s called the inner tie rod end. Because if this wears out, your steering gets sloppy. You’ll notice if you get a vibration in the steering wheel, or if the car doesn’t steer as accurately as it used to. It can also cause uneven tire wear. A worn inner tie rod end acts like a weak link, introducing play into the steering. It’s a safety thing, honestly. If it fails completely, you could lose steering control, and nobody wants that. You can find these fairly easily online, Fixparts Online has a good selection, and it’s usually something a skilled DIYer can tackle, but if you’re not comfortable, definitely take it to a professional. It's generally recommended to replace these in pairs, since if one is worn, the other probably isn't far behind. Safe driving starts here: Inner Tie Rod End (MPN 4277001) has a 12-month warranty!
