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

Questions & Answers

How long is the Crown Automotive 52060048AD?

It is 33 inch long. The tie rod is black and runs from the pitman arm to the knuckle, and it is sold individually.

Does this tie rod fit 2-door and 4-door models?

Yes, it is designed for 2 and 4-door models. Confirm your vehicle's year, model and trim before buying, since no specific vehicle is named.

Where does this tie rod mount?

It runs from the pitman arm to the steering knuckle, so it is a long tie rod in the steering linkage. Check the hardware and bolt sizes on your existing tie rod before installing.

How can I tell a long tie rod is worn?

Look for play at the joints, uneven tire wear, and a steering wheel that drifts or feels loose. Torn boots, grease leaks, and bent or cracked sections also suggest the tie rod should be inspected or replaced.

Should the drag link be checked when replacing a long tie rod?

Yes. The drag link, pitman arm and ball joints work with the tie rod, so wear in one part often shows up in others. Inspect the whole linkage for play before reassembly, and check alignment afterward.
