LATERAL LINKS

Lateral links are located at the rear of the vehicle. They are hollow metal tubes with connection points on either end and they connect the hub to the midpoint of the body which keeps the wheel/hub assembly upright and centred while driving.

INNER TIE ROD

The inner and outer tie rods connect to the steering arm in order to move the wheels of your vehicle. In the common rack-and- pinion steering system, the inner tie rods connect to the steering rack while the outer tie rods connect to the steering arms.

TIE ROD ENDS

Tie rod ends are a part of the steering system. Tie rods connect the spindle, on which your front wheel is mounted on one end, to the steering gear mechanism on the other end.
