Tie Rod End

A tie rod end is a crucial component of a vehicle’s steering system, connecting the steering rack to the steering knuckle. It allows for smooth turning and proper wheel alignment by transferring force from the steering gear to the wheels. It consists of a ball joint enclosed in a housing, ensuring flexibility and movement while maintaining stability.

Manufacturing Process

  1. Material Selection – Typically made from forged steel or alloy steel for strength and durability.
  2. Forging – The raw material is heated and forged into the basic shape.
  3. Machining – CNC machines refine the shape, ensuring precision in dimensions.
  4. Heat Treatment – The component is hardened for better strength and wear resistance.
  5. Ball Joint Assembly – The ball pin is inserted into the housing with a polymer or metal bearing.
  6. Surface Treatment – Coatings like zinc plating or powder coating are applied to prevent corrosion.
  7. Quality Testing – Each tie rod end is tested for strength, durability, and movement before being assembled into the steering system.
