Description
The steering shaft link, also called a tie rod, is a component of the vehicle steering system. It is used to connect the steering mechanism to the wheels, allowing the driver to control the direction of the vehicle. It consists of a long, straight, threaded rod, with one end connected to the steering mechanism and the other end connected to the steering knuckle or wheel hub. Its length is adjustable, allowing the front wheels to be properly aligned and the wheels to be parallel and pointing straight ahead, providing optimal handling and tire wear.
