Tie Rod Ball Joints: Diagnosing Failures & OEM Solutions

1.What is a tie rod ball joint

1.1 Product definition and function

tie rod ball joint is the core part connecting the steering tie rod and wheel steering system. Its main function is to transform the dynamic stress from the wheel or steering system into stable steering force, so as to achieve smooth and accurate steering. Its structure design must take into account wear resistance, corrosion resistance and high load bearing characteristics to ensure stable operation under various complex working conditions.
