HOME > BALL JOINT, TIE-ROD END
What do ball joints do?
Ball joints are a component of the front suspension of a car. The front suspension is a complex assembly of links, joints, bushings and bearings that allow your front wheels to move up and down independently and turn left or right together. Throughout the motion of the suspension it maximizes the tire’s contact with the road for optimum vehicle control and tire wear. Ball joints are the critical component of the front suspension that connect various links and allow them to move. Ball joints of your front suspension provide pivoting movement between the steering knuckles and control arms to provide a safe, smooth ride and allow you to precisely control your vehicle.
What is tie-rod end?
Tie rod ends are simple parts that connect the steering rack to the steering knuckle on each front wheel. An adjusting sleeve sits between the inner and outer tire-rod ends. When you turn the steering wheel, it transmits that movement through various steering components until the tie-rod ends push or pull the wheel and make the wheels turn.
Ball joints are one of the most expensive parts to repair.
This small work can save you a lot of money.
