  • The tie rod is an articulated connecting element of the steering system
  • It transmits the force from the steering gear to the steering knuckle
  • The tie rod can be supplied either as a separate part or assembled with the tie rod end and dust boot
  • The tie rod is part of the steering system and is responsible for the toe-in angle
  • The tie rods are installed on both sides
  • However, since the components have the same service life, it’s recommended to change them as a pair on the axle
  • This is also advisable since the wheels have to be aligned after the job is completed
