THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BALL JOINTS AND TIE ROD ENDS

Where Are Ball Joints and Tie Rod Ends Located

Quick map check:

  • Tie Rod Ends: They’re part of the steering system, between the steering rack and the wheels.
  • Ball Joints: Found in the suspension system, connecting the control arms to the steering knuckles.

Not hard to find if you’re under the car.

What Do Tie Rod Ends Do

They make steering precise, smooth, and responsive. Without them, your wheels won’t turn the way you want—kind of a big problem, right? If they’re worn out, steering gets sloppy or stiff. Either way, it’s time to replace.

Common Causes of Tie Rod End Failure

Wondering why tie rod ends fail? Here are the usual culprits

  • Normal Wear and Tear
    Daily driving takes its toll over time.

  • Poor Road Conditions
    Potholes and uneven roads don’t help.

  • Improper Installation
    A botched install can speed up wear.

Regular maintenance and using quality parts like ours can help avoid these issues.

How to Inspect Your Tie Rod Ends and Ball Joints

Don’t wait for a mechanic—here’s how to check them yourself:

  • Visual Check
    Look for grease leaks, cracks, or worn rubber boots.
  • Play Test
    Grab the tie rod and give it a wiggle—excess play is a red flag.

  • Listen
    Turn the steering wheel and listen for clunks or squeaks.

Spot issues? Replace them before things get worse.

Signs It’s Time to Replace Tie Rod Ends

Here’s how to know your tie rod ends are calling it quits:

  • Mess up your alignment.
  • Wear out your tires faster.
  • Put you at risk of steering failure.

Play it safe. Replace them ASAP.
