- 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 is one of the many components that make up your Nissan steering and suspension system.
A tie rod end that needs to be replaced can manifest itself in many ways. You may first feel the steering wheel shake. This issue is generally related to worn tie rods, but you might also come across uneven tire wear, consistently bad wheel alignment, unresponsive handling, or thunk-thunk sounds when turning at lower speeds.
These symptoms shouldn't be pushed off until later, as the Steering Tie Rod End is a crucial component of your Nissan suspension 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 the process does require DIY skills, a handful of hours, and some unique tools (like a torque wrench, needle-nose pliers, grease gun, car jack and stands, Nissan-approved grease, socket wrenches, and a pickle fork removal tool). Trust your Nissan owner's manual and the technicians at your local service center. Correct torque values are required for good overall handling and a successful Steering Tie Rod End replacement.
