1137101 LEMFÖRDER ANGLE JOINT

It’s a pretty simple part, really. It basically allows the steering knuckle – that’s the part that holds the wheel – to pivot. It’s a ball – and – socket joint, so it lets things move smoothly while still being super strong. It connects the steering rack or steering gearbox to the steering knuckle. There’s usually an inner and an outer tie rod end on each side. Think of it as a key link in the whole steering system. When you turn the wheel, the motion gets transferred through the steering rack and then through these tie rod ends to actually turn the wheels. It translates that rotational movement into the directional change of your car. It works with other steering components – ball joints, the rack itself – to get the job done. It’s important because it directly affects your steering precision and safety. If it gets worn or damaged, you’ll notice if your steering feels loose, or your car doesn't track straight. You might get vibrations in the steering wheel. A totally failed tie rod end can cause a loss of steering control, which, as you can imagine, is a serious problem. They take a beating from road impacts and general wear and tear, so they're a common maintenance item. You can find replacements easily enough, I’ve seen good options at Fixparts Online, but it's a part you definitely don't want to skimp on. It acts like a shield protecting the rest of your steering from harsh impacts, and eventually it needs replacing like anything else. One size fits all: Tie Rod End (MPN 1137101) has a 12-month warranty!
