Understanding Inner Tie Rod & Outer Tie Rod Replacement Services at Sunland Tire
Inner and outer tie rods are essential components of your vehicle’s steering and suspension system, regardless of the type of steering system in your vehicle. They connect the steering system to the steering arm, which is attached to the steering wheel. When you turn the steering wheel, the steering arm moves the front wheels through the steering mechanism. The inner tie rods connect to the steering rack, while the outer tie rods connect to the steering arms. Together, they allow the wheels to turn in the desired direction, making steering possible. In a typical rack-and-pinion steering system, these tie rods are vital for proper wheel movement. Without functioning tie rods, the steering mechanism would fail to operate correctly. Regular tie rod maintenance and replacement are crucial for safe and efficient vehicle operation.

Why Choose Sunland Tire for Inner Tie Rod & Outer Tie Rod Replacement Services?
If you're experiencing difficult, erratic, or unexpected steering, it could be a sign that your inner or outer tie rods need replacement. Loose tie rods may cause excessive, uneven tire wear, and you might also notice vibrations or clunking noises from the front of your vehicle. If the steering pulls to one side or fails to return to the center, it’s another indication that the tie rods may be malfunctioning. Misalignment of the wheels can also suggest worn tie rods. As outer tie rods fail, the steering angle changes, causing pulling or instability. Clicking or grinding noises near the front wheels can also point to bad tie rods. If you're experiencing any of these symptoms, contact us online or give us a call. Our skilled service team will inspect your steering system and replace the tie rods as needed.
