A steering tie rod assembly kit usually refers to the tie rod assembly in the steering system of a car. It includes tie rods on left and right sides and relevant connectors.

Common failures of a steering tie rod assembly:

Abnormal steering: This includes delayed steering, unsmooth steering, and lower steering accuracy;

Abnormal noise: This includes abnormal driving noise and abnormal steering noise;

Instable driving: During driving, there may be a deviation in direction. After the steering wheel is straightened, the car still deviates to one side instead of going straight.

Reasons for failures of a steering tie rod assembly:

The ball joint of the tie rod is worn and loose. 

The tie rod is broken, deformed, loose, or corroded.

The dustproof cover is broken or damaged, causing spill of lubricating grease and accelerating wear of the ball joint.

Suggestions for replacement of a steering tie rod assembly:

After the car runs for about 80,000 to 100,000 kilometers or if it runs frequently on rough and uneven roads, the service life of the steering tie rod can be shortened, and malfunctions may occur.

The left and right steering tie rods have the same service life. Generally, when one of them is damaged, the other is also approaching the end of its service life. It is therefore strongly recommended that they should be replaced simultaneously to ensure that the left and right ball joints have equal damping force and the tie rods are stressed in a balanced way. Such balance guarantees smooth and stable steering in both left and right directions, and avoids cost increases due to secondary maintenance.

Advantages of vika steering tie rod assembly kit:

1. The ball pins of vika steering tie rod assembly are made of 40Cr material and are subject to thermal treatment and fine grinding.

2. Lubricating grease: Imported lubricating grease is used to reduce ball head wear and makes ball pins more durable. 

3. Dustproof cover: Made of high-quality chloroprene (CR) rubber, it provides excellent properties such as high resistance to oil, wear, chemical corrosion, and aging, and has a long service life without cracking.

4. Surface treatment: The vika steering tie rod body can resist corrosion and rust for long thanks to the use of a zinc-nickel alloy electroplating process.
