- Important part of steering and suspension system
- Makes it possible to steer left and right
- Replace when worn out or damaged
A Steering Tie Rod End connects to your front wheels and makes it possible to steer left and right. It's a very important part of the Nissan suspension and steering system.
A bad tie rod end can manifest itself in a couple ways. You could first feel the steering wheel shake. This issue is sometimes related to worn tie rods, though you may also experience unbalanced tire wire, consistently bad wheel alignment, compromised handling, or clunking noises when turning at slower speeds.
These symptoms aren't something you want to ignore, as the Steering Tie Rod End is an essential component of your Nissan steering system. Without a working Steering Tie Rod End, 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.
It's possible to take care of your Nissan Steering Tie Rod End replacement at home, but it does require automotive know-how, a couple of hours of time, and some special tools (like needle-nose pliers, a grease gun, torque wrench, Nissan-approved grease, car jack and stands, socket wrenches, and a pickle fork removal tool). Turn to your Nissan manual and the professionals at your local service center. Correct torque values are required for a successful Steering Tie Rod End replacement and overall vehicle handling.
