Is your steering lacking precision? Are the wheels not turning exactly as you want? The tie rods are the parts that connect the steering servo to the wheels. When they are worn or damaged, play develops in the steering, and your vehicle no longer responds accurately to commands.

FAQ: Drivers’ Questions

How do I know if my tie rods are worn?
If you notice play in the steering (the wheels don’t turn immediately when you turn the wheel), or if the steering lacks precision, the tie rods are probably worn. Visually inspect the ball joints: if you see play or wear, replace them.
Does installation require special tools?
No, a simple Phillips screwdriver and pliers are enough. Unscrew the ball joints from the old rods, remove them, install the new ones, and screw them back in. Make sure the ball joints are tight but don’t overtighten.
Pro tip to extend lifespan
After each session, check that the ball joints are tight. Vibrations can gradually loosen them, creating play. Regular checks prevent premature wear and maintain steering precision. Avoid heavy frontal impacts that can damage the ball joints.
