Steering Linkage




Steering Linkage

The steering linkage consists of the following components:

- Inner tie rod

- Steering gear

- Outer tie-rod end

- Steering gear bellows boot

- Tie-rod jam nut

- Outer tie-rod end nut

Steering linkage is the connection between the steering gear and the wheel knuckles. The inner tie rods are attached to the steering gear rack and sealed by a bellows boot. Vehicle alignment/toe settings are accomplished by loosening the tie-rod jam nuts and turning the inner tie rods.
