- Important part of steering and suspension system
- Makes it possible to steer left and right
- Replace when worn out or damaged
Ever think about how your Nissan turns left and right? A Steering Tie Rod End makes it possible. It's a very important part of the Nissan suspension and steering system.
A bad tie rod end can make itself known in a couple ways. You may first notice shaking in your steering wheel. This problem is generally due to worn tie rods, though you may also experience strange tire wear, always out-of-alignment wheels, compromised handling, or thunk-thunk sounds when turning at slower speeds.
These symptoms shouldn't be pushed off until later, as the Steering Tie Rod End is a crucial piece of your Nissan steering system. Without a functioning Steering Tie Rod End, you can't turn corners! Tie rods can wear out naturally over time, be damaged in an impact, or through constant driving on bumpy roads.
It's not impossible to replace your Nissan Steering Tie Rod End at home, but the process does require DIY skills, a few free hours, and some special tools (like a torque wrench, grease gun, needle-nose pliers, Nissan-approved grease, car stands and jack, socket wrenches, and a pickle fork removal tool). Consult your Nissan manual and the technicians at your local service center. Correct torque values are critical if you want a successful Steering Tie Rod End replacement.
