Technical Specifications

Installation Guide

1. Preparation: Safely lift the vehicle using a jack and secure it on jack stands. Remove the wheel to access the steering rack.
2. Remove Old Tie Rod End: Loosen the nut that secures the tie rod end to the steering arm. Carefully detach the old component, noting its orientation for correct placement of the new part.
3. Install New Tie Rod End: Align the threaded portion with the steering arm and hand‑tighten the nut. Use a torque wrench to achieve the manufacturer’s specified torque value (typically 25–30 Nm).
4. Check Alignment: After installation, perform a wheel alignment check to ensure that the steering geometry is within acceptable tolerances.
5. Reassemble: Reinstall the wheel and lower the vehicle. Verify proper operation by turning the steering wheel through its full range of motion.

Maintenance Tips

• Inspect tie rod ends annually for signs of wear, such as looseness or uneven play in the steering wheel.
• Avoid excessive force on the steering system; sudden impacts can damage the tie rod end and compromise safety.
• Keep the component clean from dirt and debris to prevent corrosion at the threaded interface.
