Steering Tie Rod
Mitsubishi FUSO®

The Steering Tie Rod, also known as the Tie Rod End, is a vital part of a commercial truck's steering system. It connects the steering knuckle to the steering gear, allowing the driver to control the direction of the vehicle. The Tie Rod End is responsible for transmitting the steering input from the steering wheel to the wheels, ensuring that the truck moves in the intended direction. The Steering Tie Rod is made up of a threaded rod and a ball joint, which allows for movement and flexibility in the steering system. Over time, the Tie Rod End can wear out due to constant use and exposure to the elements. A worn Tie Rod End can cause the truck to have poor steering response, uneven tire wear, and even a loss of control while driving. It is important to regularly inspect and replace the Steering Tie Rod to ensure the safety and reliability of the commercial truck.
