Steering Linkage





The left and right hand tie-rod assemblies:

- Transmit steering forces from the steering gear to the wheel hubs

- Provide front road wheel toe setting by adjustment of the threaded outer tie-rod ends.

Note: Steering geometry adjustments must only be carried out with the vehicle on turn plates to allow the wheels to move during adjustment.

The left and right hand steering rack boots:

- Are installed between the steering rack and the tie-rod ends.

- Are of the concertina type.

- Retain lubricant and prevent the ingress of foreign matter.
