The tie rods are a critical part of the rack-and-pinion steering system. The tie rods are responsible for moving the wheels in either direction. The tie rods are prone to wear and tear as your vehicle rides over bumps, potholes, and minor undulations on the road surface. Since the tie rods are attached to the ends of the steering rack, the first signs of a faulty tie rod are imprecise or floaty steering and a weird knocking sound that can be heard as you turn the steering wheel. Check out Sam’s Motorsports’ lineup of tie rods and other steering and suspension components and learn how easy it is to save on a brand new set of tie rods for your ride.
