If you notice this symptom, it's important to have a mechanic inspect the entire front end to determine the precise cause of the issue and replace the parts that are causing the problem.
Tire inspections are often completed by a tire center or oil change service station. However, you can easily complete a visual inspection of your tires to determine if they are wearing unevenly. Simply stand in front of your vehicle and look at the edges of the inside and outside of the tire.
If they appear to be evenly worn, this is a good sign that your tie rod end is functioning correctly. If the tire is worn excessively on the inner or outer portion of your tire, this is a warning sign that the tie rod end may be wearing out and should be inspected. Excessive tire wear, like vehicle vibration in the steering wheel may also be caused by other suspension components, which is why a ASE certified mechanic should be called to properly inspect this condition.
The tie rod ends of any vehicle provide stability and allow your car, truck or SUV to drive smoothly down the road. When the wear out, they tend to break very quickly. If you notice a problem with the way your vehicle drives as indicated in the symptoms above, make sure to contact a local ASE certified mechanic as soon as possible.

Uneven and excessive tire wear Tire inspections are often completed by a tire center or oil change service station. Tire runout — also sometimes referred to as out-of-round — involves a tire which is no longer perfectly round.
The fact is, tires do not go out of round. An out of round tire is one that the tread of the tire does not rotate in a true circle around the axis of the tire. Radial runout is when the axis of rotation is off-center from the main axis, but still parallel. Axial runout is when the axis of rotation is tilted to some degree from the main axis, meaning the axis of rotation is no longer parallel to the main axis.
Radial Run-Out is measured by placing a run-out gauge against a smooth section of the tread near the center of the tire and then rotating the wheel and tire by hand through one complete revolution. Lateral run out in and out variance is measured on the outer edge of the rim where the bead seals.
Of course the less run out the better. Begin typing your search term above and press enter to search. Press ESC to cancel.
