Steering linkage wear and alignment
A long tie rod connects the pitman arm to the steering knuckle, so it carries steering force between the two. When a tie rod is worn, steering can feel loose or wander, and tires may wear unevenly. Inspect the ends and joints for play, grease leaks, torn boots and bent sections, and check the rod for cracks at the bends.
After any tie rod work, check the front end alignment, since toe changes affect steering centering and tire wear. Other linkage parts, such as the drag link, pitman arm and ball joints, often show wear at the same time, so inspect them before reassembly. Confirm the fit for your vehicle’s year, model and trim before buying replacement linkage.
- Check tie rod ends for play
- Look for torn boots and grease leaks
- Align the front end after replacement
