- Important part of steering and suspension system
- Makes it possible to steer left and right
- Replace when worn out or damaged
A Steering Tie Rod End connects to your front wheels and makes it possible to steer left and right. It is one of the many components that make up your Nissan steering and suspension system.
A tie rod end that's ready to be replaced can make itself known in a couple ways. You could first notice shaking in your steering wheel. This problem is generally due to worn tie rods, but you could also note uneven tire wear, consistently bad wheel alignment, unresponsive handling, or clunking noises when turning at slower speeds.
These sensations shouldn't be pushed off until later, as the Steering Tie Rod End is a crucial component of your Nissan steering system. If your Steering Tie Rod End is no good, you can't turn corners! 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 few free hours, and some unique tools (like a grease gun, needle-nose pliers, a torque wrench, car jack and stands, Nissan-approved grease, socket wrenches, and a pickle fork removal tool). Turn to your Nissan manual and the professionals at your local service center. Proper torque values are crucial for a successful Steering Tie Rod End replacement and overall vehicle handling.
