A tie rod end is attached to the ends of the tie rod and drag link that connects the front wheels of your Jeep with the steering linkage to allow you to steer your Jeep. Tie rod ends can wear out due to impacts, constant use on bumpy roads and trails, or simply over time with age.
Common signs of a faulty tie rod end include a front end alignment that is off, a shaky or loose steering wheel, and uneven or excessive tire wear.
