Driving your Yugo with that full control is made possible by its indispensable and high performance steering system. This plays a crucial role in keeping the coordinated movement in your wheels as you turn the steering wheel. It maintains a synchronous motion between the steering mechanism and the tires, allowing it to have better road stability and mobility. Whenever you turn the steering wheel, the tires also move relatively on the direction it makes. This is actualized via several steering parts and components that make up the entire steering system. One of this is the Yugo tie rod. This is significantly an essential rod that is responsible for transferring the torque coming from the steering center link or the rack gear to the steering knuckle, which sets the wheels in motion.

The Yugo tie rod is a useful device that serves as an efficient steering linkage and pivot support for the steering knuckle. On vehicles with conventional suspension systems and recirculating ball steering gears, the tie rod attaches the center link to the steering knuckle. On vehicles equipped with MacPherson strut suspension and rack-and-pinion gears, the tie rod attaches the end of the rack to the steering knuckle. It works together with the ball joints in ensuring that the vehicle steers either left or right at the same time while the wheels move up and down as it hits an irregular road surface.

The tie rod consists of an inner and outer tie rod ends. The inner tie rod end serves as a sufficient pivot points for the steering gears and is attached at either end of the center link. While the outer tie rod links with an adjusting sleeve, allowing the entire tie rod length to be adjustable. This adjustment is critical for the vehicle’s toe setting. The outer tie rod end is attached to the steering knuckle, which enables the front wheels to turn. In order for the steering system to be effective, it must be able to steer the wheels at the same speed and into the same plane. The tie rod together with the ball joint takes the job of keeping the wheels rigidly held.

To ensure proper tie rod functions, it must be checked regularly. A defective tie rod can cause your vehicle to steer erratically, wander, and can result to abnormal tire wear. A damaged tie rod must be replaced. When replacing it, the toe setting of the vehicle will be affected and thus a complete wheel alignment is also necessary.
