A ball tie rod is a component of the steering system that helps to transmit the driver's steering input to the wheels. It is made up of a ball joint that allows the tie rod to move in all directions, and a threaded rod that connects the ball joint to the steering rack or steering gear box assembly.
The purpose of the ball tie rod is to allow the wheels to turn smoothly and accurately, while also providing a degree of flexibility to absorb bumps and road irregularities. If the ball tie rod becomes worn or damaged, it can cause the steering to become loose or unresponsive, and it can also increase the risk of a crash.
To check the condition of the ball tie rods, a mechanic will typically raise the vehicle and remove the front wheels. The wheels will need to be turned to the right in order to inspect the passenger-side inner tie rod end and to the left to inspect the driver's-side inner tie rod end. The mechanic will look for signs of wear, such as cracks, tears, or looseness. If any of the tie rods are found to be damaged, they will need to be replaced.
