Let’s talk tie rods

Hey y’all, let’s talk about tie rods. What the heck do they do?
When the driver turns the steering wheel, the steering rack moves the tie rods, which in turn push or pull the steering knuckle, causing the wheels to pivot. This enables the car to change direction.
Tie rods typically consist of an inner and outer end. The inner tie rod end connects to the steering rack, while the outer tie rod end connects to the steering knuckle. They often include an adjustment mechanism to set the wheel alignment correctly, ensuring that the wheels are properly oriented for optimal handling and tire wear. Over time, tie rods can wear out and may need to be replaced to maintain precise steering and safety.
There you have it folks! A good ‘ol tie rod explanation!
