- Important part of steering and suspension system
- Makes it possible to steer left and right
- Replace when worn out or damaged
You wouldn't be able to turn your vehicle left or right without a Steering Tie Rod End. A Steering Tie Rod End connects to the front wheels. It's an integral piece in your Nissan steering and suspension system.
A tie rod end that needs to be replaced can make itself evident in many ways. You might first notice shaking in your steering wheel. This sign is often due to worn tie rods, but you might also come across unbalanced tire wire, always out-of-alignment wheels, less than responsive handling, or strange clunking sounds when making turns at lower speeds.
These symptoms aren't something you want to ignore, as the Steering Tie Rod End is an essential part of your Nissan steering system. Without a functioning Steering Tie Rod End, you can't make any turns! Tie rods can wear out naturally over time, be damaged in an impact, or through constant driving on bumpy roads.
Replacing your Nissan Steering Tie Rod End at home is not impossible, but you'll need advanced automotive knowledge, a couple of hours of time, and special tools (like a grease gun, needle-nose pliers, a torque wrench, car jack and stands, Nissan-approved grease, pickle fork removal tool, and socket wrenches). Turn to your Nissan manual and the professionals at your closest Nissan service center. OEM torque values are required for a successful Steering Tie Rod End replacement and overall vehicle handling.
