Steering You Right (Tie Rod End Replacement)Posted August 18, 2024 3:14 AMFor drivers, S stands for safety. And there are three other words that start with S that are all equally important: starting, stopping and steering. For your vehicle to be at its safest, all three functions must be in top shape. Steering is one of those things we take for granted. After all, you turn the wheel and your vehicle changes direction. But sometimes you might notice your steering is a little off. Maybe you've noticed you turn your wheel slightly and your vehicle doesn't turn. You may feel a little vibration in the wheel that increases when you go faster. You may hear a little squeak from the wheels when you steer and you may notice your tires aren't wearing evenly. These are signs that your tie rod ends may be failing. Tie rod ends help connect your vehicle's steering mechanism to the wheels. They can wear out after you've hit one too many potholes or just from constant use. They can cause sloppy steering and loose handling, and they should be replaced when they've reached the end of their life span. If you notice any of these things happening on your vehicle, bring it in to us so a technician can check it out. There are a couple of different types of steering, recirculating ball steering and the one most of the latest vehicles have, rack and pinion. When we replace your tie rod ends, we will remove and replace the old ones and adjust them to meet your vehicle manufacturer's specifications. Tie rod ends should often be replaced in pairs, and your vehicle should be aligned afterwards. Keep your steering working the way it's supposed to, and your vehicle will be sure to steer you right.

OUR REVIEWS
Gene Arnold, 09/26/2024Chuck and Tammy were excellent during this entire process. Long story short, came in thinking my catalytic converter was stolen from my car and they diagnosed that my car’s exhaust pipe broke off. Chuck managed to fix my exhaust pipe and it’s been running amazing since I visited AGAD. They also gave me a great price and I would absolutely recommend them to anyone. The old saying “A good mechanic is super valuable” comes to mind with Chuck and Tammy!
