What does a tie rod end do?

The tie rod end is a crucial part of your vehicle's steering system. It connects the steering rack or gearbox to the steering knuckle, allowing you to turn the wheels when you move the steering wheel.

Why is the gusher bearing design important?

The gusher bearing design allows grease to continuously flow through the bearing surface. This helps to lubricate the joint, reduce friction, and flush out contaminants, leading to a longer service life for the tie rod end.

Does this tie rod end come with any hardware?

This product includes the outer tie rod end itself. It is designed to be a direct replacement, but you should refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions or consult a mechanic to confirm if any additional hardware is typically required for your specific vehicle.
