What is bump steer and why do these tie rod ends fix it?

Bump steer is when your wheels turn unintentionally as the suspension moves up and down. On lowered cars, the suspension geometry changes, often causing more bump steer. These tie rod ends allow you to adjust the pivot point, correcting the geometry and reducing unwanted steering input.

What materials are used in these tie rod ends?

The shanks are made from strong 9310 alloy, while the turnbuckles are crafted from lightweight 2024-T351 aluminum with a black anodized finish. They also feature stainless steel spacers and high-quality FK rod end bearings with Teflon lining.

Do these tie rod ends come with everything needed for installation?

This set is sold as a pair and includes the adjustable tie rod ends. It is recommended to consult the manufacturer's installation instructions for any additional hardware or specific tools required for proper fitment and adjustment.

Product Details

If you've lowered your 1997-2013 Chevrolet Corvette (C5 or C6) or changed its suspension geometry, you might notice bump steer. These rear outer tie rod ends from SPL Parts are designed to fix that. They let you adjust the tie rod end pivot point, which helps get rid of unwanted steering changes over bumps and keeps your car tracking straighter, especially when you're pushing it hard on the track or during spirited driving.

SPL Parts builds these tie rod ends tough. They use CNC machined shanks made from 9310 alloy, which has a high tensile strength to handle the stresses of racing and drifting. The turnbuckles are made from strong yet lightweight 2024-T351 aluminum with a black anodized finish, and they include stainless steel spacers. Inside, you'll find Teflon-lined FK high misalignment bearings. These bearings are crucial for preventing binding, especially on lowered cars where suspension angles can get pretty extreme. Everything is proudly made in the USA.

This set is sold as a pair and is designed to be a direct replacement for your factory rear outer tie rod ends. Adjusting them can help improve your car's handling and reduce lap times by ensuring the wheels are pointed correctly through the suspension travel.
