03583 Febi Tie Rod End

The Febi Tie Rod End with Lock Nut is a suspension and steering component used in various vehicles. It is commonly found on passenger cars and light trucks where it connects to the tie rod assembly. This part has an internal M14 x 1,5 thread and an outside M12 x 1,5 thread, both being right-hand threads. Tie rods are critical steering linkage components connecting the steering rack to the steering knuckles, enabling directional control. These threaded rods, typically featuring left-hand and right-hand threads for length adjustment, transmit steering force and allow for wheel alignment. Inner and outer tie rod ends incorporate ball joints allowing for angular movement, while boots protect these joints from contamination. Construction utilizes hardened steel for durability, and jam nuts secure adjustments preventing loosening due to vehicle vibration. Replacement is typically performed in pairs to maintain symmetrical steering geometry.
