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 bad tie rod end can make itself evident in a few ways. You might feel the steering wheel shaking. This symptom is sometimes tied back to worn tie rods, though you may also experience strange tire wear, ongoing poor wheel alignment, compromised handling, or thunk-thunk sounds when turning at lower speeds.
These sensations shouldnt be pushed off until later, as the Steering Tie Rod End is a crucial component of the Nissan steering and suspension system. Without a working Steering Tie Rod End, you cant turn left or right! Tie rods can wear out naturally over time, be damaged in an impact, or through constant driving on bumpy roads.
Its possible to take care of your Nissan Steering Tie Rod End replacement at home, but youll need advanced automotive knowledge, a handful of hours, and some special tools (like a torque wrench, needle-nose pliers, grease gun, car jack and stands, Nissan-approved grease, pickle fork removal tool, and socket wrenches). Start with your vehicles manual and the trained team at your nearest authorized service center. Proper torque values are required if you want a successful Steering Tie Rod End replacement.
