This heavy-duty tie rod bar is a crucial component of your vehicle's steering system, connecting the steering knuckles on each front wheel to ensure they turn in unison. It is fitted behind the front axle differential. This solid mild steel bar is a direct replacement upgrade for the standard hollow factory bar, designed to provide superior strength and durability.
An upgrade to a solid tie rod is essential for any Patrol used for off-roading or fitted with larger tyres. The original equipment (OE) hollow bar is a known weak point and is highly susceptible to bending or breaking when impacted by rocks, ruts, or other obstacles on the trail.
If a tie rod is bent, it will severely disrupt your wheel alignment, causing erratic steering, and rapid, uneven tyre wear. A complete failure of the tie rod will result in a total loss of steering control to one of the front wheels, a highly dangerous situation that could lead to a serious accident, especially at speed or on difficult terrain.
