- 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 a very important part of the Nissan suspension and steering system.
A tie rod end that's ready to be replaced can manifest itself in a few ways. You could first feel the steering wheel shake. This symptom is sometimes tied back to worn tie rods, but you might also come across uneven tire wear, always out-of-alignment wheels, less than responsive handling, or strange clunking sounds when making turns at lower speeds.
These sensations shouldn't be overlooked, as the Steering Tie Rod End is an important component of your Nissan suspension system. Without a functioning Steering Tie Rod End, you can't turn left or right! Tie rod ends can be damaged in a crash or by driving over bumpy surfaces constantly, or wear out naturally with age.
Replacing your Nissan Steering Tie Rod End at home is not impossible, but it does require automotive know-how, a couple of hours of time, and some unique tools (like a torque wrench, grease gun, needle-nose pliers, car jack and stands, Nissan-approved grease, socket wrenches, and a pickle fork removal tool). Trust your Nissan manual and the trained team at your nearest authorized service center. Correct torque values are required for a successful Steering Tie Rod End replacement and overall vehicle handling.
