Correct geometry for lowered cars with bump steer adjustment and angled head.

Bump steer adjustable – The built in bump steer adjustment lets you dial in a minimal bump steer curve.

Angled head – Lower the car and the tie rods angle down. This shifts the ball stud from its center and limits the available range of articulation.

We solve this problem by angling the head to move the stud back towards the center of its range of articulation at static ride height.

Fully weather sealed – Proper boot at the ball stud to keep water and contaminant out for extended life.

About this Tie Rod

The ELEPHANT RACING 2180008 tie rod connects the steering rack to the steering knuckle, turning the wheels when you turn the steering wheel. Worn tie rods cause loose steering and uneven tire wear and must be replaced promptly.

Frequently asked questions

What does a tie rod do?

It transmits steering movement from the rack to each front wheel and sets the wheel's toe angle. Inner and outer tie rods each have a joint that allows the suspension to move while you steer.

What are the signs of a worn tie rod?

Loose or vague steering, a clunk when turning, the car pulling or wandering, uneven wear on the inner or outer edge of the tires, or a torn rubber boot on the joint.

Do I need an alignment after replacing a tie rod?

Yes. Tie rods set toe, and even careful measuring cannot replace a proper alignment afterwards. Driving without one can wear tires quickly.

Should I replace inner and outer tie rods together?

Replace whichever joint is worn. If both are original and high-mileage, replacing them together, and doing both sides, avoids paying for a second alignment soon after.

How do I make sure this tie rod fits my car?

Compare the part numbers listed on this page with the number on your old part or in your vehicle's parts catalog, and check the fitment information. If you are unsure, contact us with your VIN before ordering.
