Axial rods are an important part of your steering system and connect your steering rack and tie rod end. The role of an axial rod is to transmit axial force to each tie rod end to allow the wheels to turn. Axial rods are also called inner tie rods, depending on the vehicle and country.
What Are The Symptoms Of A Failing Axial Rod?
The suspension in your vehicle is made up of various components that are designed to wear out over time. Years of absorbing bumps and uneven road surfaces wear down pushings and joints in your suspension system, meaning you will need to replace components as time goes on. When it comes to a failing axial rod, you are going to want to look for the following symptoms:
Uneven Tire Wear
Car Pulls To One Side (Out Of Alignment)
Steering Wheel Vibrations/Looseness
Knocking Of Clunking Sound
If you are experiencing any of the above symptoms, inspecting your suspension for worn components is highly recommended.
How Much Does It Cost To Replace An Axial Rod?
The average cost to replace an axial rod is about $155-$217 when taking your vehicle to a shop using standard replacement parts. This will differ from location to location, and if you are mechanically inclined, you can do the job yourself using axial rods from GSP Latin America. If you plan to tackle the fix yourself, you must get an alignment after completing the repair.
