Tie rod ends & tie rods in Astana
A tie rod end is the joint at the end of the tie rod through which the steering rack turns the wheel; the tie rod itself connects to the rack with an inner joint. Play in either one causes knocks in the steering wheel and a car that wanders on the highway. We select tie rod ends and inner tie rods by VIN, side-specific — original and proven aftermarket in stock in Astana.

Tie rod end, tie rod and boot
The tie rod end screws onto the tie rod and attaches to the steering knuckle with a tapered stud. The inner tie rod (axial joint) screws into the rack and is covered by the rack boot. The end and the rod can be replaced separately; when replacing the rod, fit an intact boot — a torn one lets dirt and water into the rack.
Signs of wear
Knocks and kickback through the steering wheel over bumps, steering play, pulling and wandering at speed, tyre wear on the tread edge. Check by rocking the raised wheel by hand at the front and rear: play is usually visible at the joint. There's no scheduled interval — life depends on roads and boot condition, so the steering is inspected at every service.
How to choose
Left and right tie rod ends differ on many models, as do rod length, thread and stud taper depending on version and rack type. Select by VIN: we show original and aftermarket from Lemförder, TRW, CTR, 555, Moog and Febi. A toe alignment is mandatory after replacing a tie rod end or rod.

FAQ
Knocks in the steering wheel over bumps, steering play, the car pulling to one side, tyre wear on the edge. On a lift, play in the joint is visible when rocking the wheel.
Yes. Replacing a tie rod end or rod almost always upsets the toe — without adjustment the car pulls and the tyres wear quickly.
If only the end has play — replacing it is enough. If the inner joint knocks too, it's easier to replace the rod with the end so the alignment is done once.
