Description
Tie rods and tie rod end ball joints are what connect the steering rack gearbox to the steering knuckles so the turning input from the driver makes its way to the wheels.
Tie rods thread onto the steering rack to also allow for steering alignment adjustments to be made.
In general, most vehicle manufacturers recommend having your tie rods checked every 15,000 miles to ensure they’re in good working condition.
Like your tie rods, your car insurance policy needs regular maintenance to ensure you’re not paying too much.
