Steering tie rod ends

Catalogue of steering tie rod ends for steering components and axles

In this section we offer a specialized range of essential components for the guidance system of heavy vehicles and industrial machinery. Here you can purchase steering tie rod ends designed to withstand load demands and ensure precise vehicle maneuverability.

These spare parts are aimed at professional mechanics and fleet managers seeking to maintain the integrity of the steering and axle system. Ensuring these parts are in good condition is essential for road safety, steering wheel precision, and preventing premature tire wear on trucks and buses.

Criteria for choosing the right steering spare part

• OEM reference: Check the manufacturer’s original part number to ensure exact vehicle compatibility.
• Taper and thread dimensions: Verify the taper diameter, as well as the thread type and pitch (metric or imperial) for a secure fit.
• Installation side: Confirm whether the required part corresponds to the right or left side of the axle, as the thread direction may vary.
• Overall length: An incorrect measurement can alter steering geometry and alignment capability.
• Vehicle application: Make sure the replacement part is specified for the model and tonnage of the industrial vehicle in question.

Frequently asked questions

What is the main function of the tie rod end in a heavy vehicle?

Its function is to transmit force from the steering link or steering box to the wheels, enabling turning. In industrial vehicles, these are critical elements that must withstand high dynamic loads and vibrations to maintain stability and the correct trajectory.

What symptoms indicate wear in steering tie rod ends?

The most obvious signs include excessive play in the steering wheel, metallic noises (“knocking”) when turning or driving over bumps, unusual vibrations in the cab, and irregular or accelerated wear on the tire tread.

Is it advisable to replace both tie rod ends on the axle at the same time?

Although technically only the damaged one can be replaced, it is recommended to replace the pair on the same axle simultaneously. This ensures uniform steering behavior, makes more precise alignment easier, and prevents having to take the vehicle out of service again in the short term.

How can I confirm compatibility with my steering system?

The most reliable way is to cross-reference the original (OEM) reference shown on the old part or in the manufacturer’s parts diagram. Additionally, it is necessary to check the coupling dimensions (taper and thread) before placing the order.
