What are Track Rod Ends?

They also known as tie rod ends, are crucial components in a vehicle’s steering system. They are small, flexible ball joints that connect the track rods to the steering knuckle, allowing the wheels to turn and manoeuvre the vehicle effectively. These ball joints play a vital role in ensuring precise steering control and maintaining a smooth ride.

How Do You Know If Your Track Rod Ends Need Replacing?

Track rod ends are typically made of durable metal and are designed to withstand the rigours of everyday driving. However, they can become worn or damaged over time, leading to a variety of steering problems. Here are some telltale signs that yours may need replacing:

Excessive play in the steering wheel: If there is excessive play in the steering wheel, it means the ends are loose and not providing proper support to the steering system. This can make the steering feel vague and unresponsive.

Clunking or knocking noises when turning: Worn or damaged ends can cause clunking or knocking noises when you turn the steering wheel. These noises are caused by the ball joints rubbing against the metal housings.

Uneven tyre wear: If your tires are wearing unevenly, it could be a sign that your ends are worn and not properly aligning the wheels. This can lead to premature tire wear and potential safety hazards.

Vibrations in the steering wheel: If your steering wheel is vibrating it can be caused by a number of factors, including worn track rod ends. If the vibrations are felt at low speeds and worsen when turning, it is likely that the tie rod ends are at fault.

Steering wheel pulling to one side: If your steering wheel pulls to one side when driving, it could be a sign that one of the tie rod ends is worn more than the other. This can make it difficult to keep the car in a straight line.

If you notice any of these signs, it is important to have your track rod ends inspected by a qualified mechanic as soon as possible. When worn or damaged, they can compromise steering control and increase the risk of an accident. Replacing worn ends with new ones is a relatively straightforward procedure that can significantly improve your vehicle’s steering and handling.
