In general, the connecting member is made of bar or tube.
The tie rods are attached to each wheel’s spindle assembly so that movement of the steering wheel through the steering box and linkage results in the movement of the front wheels.
If there are any issues in the ball joint movement, we will remove the snap ring which can be accessible to perform any service-related activities like repair and replacing the bush, grease fittings, and ball joints.
Construction:
- Ball Joint Design: Tie rod ends often feature a ball joint design, which allows for movement in multiple directions. This flexibility is essential for accommodating the vertical and horizontal movements of the tractor’s suspension.
- Durable Materials: Typically made from high-strength steel or alloy materials to withstand heavy loads and harsh operating conditions.
Types:
- Standard Tie Rod Ends:
- Used for general use in agricultural tractors, providing reliable steering performance.
- Heavy-Duty Tie Rod Ends:
- Used for larger tractors or those used in more demanding conditions, offering enhanced durability and load-bearing capacity.
- Adjustable Tie Rod Ends:
- Some tie rod ends allow for adjustment to accommodate changes in alignment or wear over time.
Maintenance:
- Inspection: Regularly interval check for signs of wear, play, or damage in the tie rod end. Worn tie rod ends can lead to poor steering response and handling.
- Lubrication: Many tie rod ends are designed with grease fittings that require periodic lubrication to ensure smooth operation and longevity.
