What is a Tie Rod?
A tie rod is an essential part of a vehicle’s steering mechanism. It connects the steering rack to the steering knuckle, allowing the driver to steer the vehicle by converting the rotational motion of the steering wheel into linear motion. Essentially, tie rods are responsible for ensuring that your wheels turn in the same direction as your steering wheel, which is critical for safe driving.

Types of Tie Rods
There are two main types of tie rods:

Inner Tie Rods: These are located closer to the center of the vehicle and connect the steering rack to the outer tie rod.
Outer Tie Rods: These connect the inner tie rod to the steering knuckle. They are more exposed and are thus more susceptible to wear and damage.
Understanding the difference between these components is crucial, as they may require different maintenance or replacement procedures.
