The rod end, the steering rod with ends is a steering element connecting the wheels to the steering gear. Correct installation of this element directly affects the driving angle of the wheels and, consequently, the driving characteristics of the vehicle itself. The most common visible signal and the need to replace the steering rod are play in the steering system or visible unnatural tire abrasion. Remember that the good condition of the steering rod ends affects driving safety and extends the durability of the tires.
