About Steering & Components
Steering components carry the driverโs input to the front wheels. Tie rods, rod ends, and steering linkages work alongside the suspension, so their position and movement matter as much as their strength. This collection brings together steering parts and related joints for supported street, track, drift, and off-road applications.
A useful detail is that steering geometry changes as the suspension moves. When that movement causes an unwanted change in toe, itโs known as bump steer. Some adjustable tie rod ends provide a way to alter the steering linkage geometry, although the correct setup depends on the vehicle and needs to be measured.
Solid-axle steering has its own layout, with components such as tie rods and drag links connecting the steering system to the knuckles. Lift height, clearance, joint condition, and the relationship between the steering linkage and track bar all become part of the setup.
Why We Like Steering Components At 9AM:
Steering is one of the most direct connections you have with a vehicle. We care about what happens between turning the wheel and feeling the vehicle respond. The parts doing that work deserve attention, especially when the suspension has already been modified.
