Equipped with a rack & pinion steering system as the steering gear mechanism. The steering moment from the steering wheel is transferred to the running wheels through the rack end. It absorbs road conditions and vibrations in order to stabilize vehicle handling. A ball joint is set at vehicle's side in order to cope with updowns of running wheel and turning motion from steering wheel. Connected to outer tie rod end it transfers steering moment it has wider pivot angle to cope with updowns and back-forward motions. By turns of rack end ball stud it can adjust toe-in alignment.
The critical interface between a car's steering rack and steering knuckle is the tie rod end. The rod end serves as a pivot point for the steering to retain its geometry in addition to transferring force from the steering rack to the wheels. The rod end normally has a round end and a threaded bolt that is put into the knuckle perpendicular to it. The rounded end also contains bearings that permit the bolt to revolve freely; a boot covers this end to prevent dirt from getting in. While this design may appear simple at first glance, the tolerances required are extremely fine because of how important it is to be handling.
Tie rod ends are the crucial meeting point between a vehicle's steering rack and steering knuckle. The rod end not only transmits the force from the steering rack to the wheels, but it also provides a pivot point for the steering to maintain its geometry. The rod end typically features a round end and has a threaded bolt perpendicular to it that is inserted into the knuckle. The rounded end also houses bearings that allow the bolt to pivot freely; this end is covered by a protective boot to keep dirt out. This design may look uncomplicated to the naked eye, but because it is so crucial to handling, the tolerances involved are very tight.
