Track Rod Replacement in Vantaa

When a track rod needs replacing

The track rod transmits steering rack movement to the wheels. It's a long metal tube with a joint at each end (inner end to the rack, outer end to the track rod end). The track rod's internal joint can wear and cause steering imprecision. Symptoms: the car won't track straight by itself, steering wheel straight-ahead angle varies, tyres wear on the inner edge and a knock is heard at full lock. The fault is confirmed by lifting the car off the wheels and moving the track rod end — a healthy rod shouldn't show play.
