What Is a Tie Rod and How It Works ?
A tie rod is a critical component in a vehicle’s steering and suspension system.
It connects the steering rack to the steering knuckle, allowing the wheels to turn precisely when the driver steers.
The tie rod transmits steering input while maintaining proper wheel alignment and stability, ensuring safe and responsive handling.
Structurally, a tie rod typically includes an inner tie rod, outer tie rod, and adjustable linkage that allows fine-tuning of wheel toe settings.
In off-road, racing, and heavy-duty applications, tie rods must withstand high impact, vibration, and torsional loads — which is why precision machining, material strength, and joint quality are vital.
As a tie rod manufacturer, we design and produce tie rods according to your requirements — from lightweight aluminum rods for racing to heavy-duty chromoly or stainless steel assemblies for off-road, agricultural, and industrial machinery.
Tie Rod Design Options
Different vehicles and machinery use different tie rod structures. We provide various design solutions to meet specific strength, space, and installation requirements. Below are several common types we can produce or customize according to your drawings.
