TIE ROD REPLACEMENT
The tie rods on your vehicle aren't just important; they're vital. Enjoy efficient, expert inner and outer tie rod replacement at Firestone Complete Auto Care.
INNER & OUTER TIE ROD REPLACEMENT
The inner and outer tie rods are part of the steering system. Acting as the pivot point between the steering rack, arm, and wheel, tie rods help make turning possible. Inner and outer tie rods work together to provide optimal wheel control, so both are equally important. The inner tie rod connects the outer tie rod (which is connected to the steering knuckle) to the steering gear, and both play a large role in wheel alignment.
Tie rod replacement can involve the inners, outers, or both at the same time. The replacement involves removing the old tie rods and installing new ones and can usually be done relatively quickly by the experts at Firestone Complete Auto Care. After tie rod replacement, the vehicle’s alignment should be checked.
SIGNS & SYMPTOMS OF A BAD TIE ROD
Without tie rods, you wouldn’t be able to steer your vehicle, so it becomes clear quickly when they aren’t functioning properly. Here are some of the signs that might indicate a problem with your inner or outer tie rods or both.

UNEVEN TIRE WEAR
A number of things can cause uneven tire wear, including worn-down or tie rods with play.
FRONT END OUT OF ALIGNMENT
Worn tie rods can cause the front end of your vehicle to fall out of alignment. A steering wheel pulling to one side can indicate alignment issues.
VIBRATING OR LOOSE STEERING WHEEL
A loose tie rod can cause your steering wheel to shake, vibrate, or cause excessive play in the steering wheel.
KNOCKING SOUNDS
If you notice a knocking sound when you’re making a turn, it could be an indication of worn tie rods.
HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO REPLACE A TIE ROD?
The cost of replacing a tie rod depends on the type of vehicle and the quality of the part. Tie rods for luxury vehicles may cost more. You can expect the average cost to be anywhere from $100-$400 plus labor.
