The steering system’s reliability hinges on the integrity of its tie rods. Lokkraft provides a comprehensive range of Inner and Outer Tie Rods, precision-engineered to restore original steering response and ensure maximum safety across diverse driving conditions.

Our Inner Tie Rods are built with high-strength, heat-treated ball housings, finished with a black oxide or zinc coating for superior corrosion defense. Featuring 100% heat-treated, mirror-polished ball studs, these components reduce internal friction to near-zero levels, eliminating steering play and providing effortless articulation.

Complementing this, our Outer Tie Rods feature a robust zinc-coated or e-coated finish, designed to withstand harsh road salts and environmental moisture. Each unit is protected by a premium Neoprene dust cover, creating a hermetic seal that retains our high-viscosity premium grease while locking out grit and water. With precision-machined clear threads, our tie rods guarantee a perfect “bolt-on” fit and easy adjustment during wheel alignments.

Outer Tie Rod Features

Zinc-Coated Or E-Coated Finish

To ensure maximum longevity against environmental stressors, our outer tie rods feature a premium zinc-coated or e-coated finish. This advanced industrial plating provides a robust barrier against road salt, moisture, and chemical oxidation. By preventing surface corrosion and pitting, this high-grade protection maintains the structural integrity and aesthetic professional look of the steering component throughout its extensive service life.

Neoprene Dust Covers With Lock Rings

Protection of the internal joint is paramount. We utilize high-performance Neoprene dust covers that offer exceptional resistance to oil, heat, and ozone-induced cracking. These boots are securely anchored to prevent contaminant ingress. This hermetic seal keeps road grit and water out while retaining vital lubricants, ensuring smooth, friction-free articulation and preventing premature wear of the critical ball joint assembly.

Clear Threads & Perfect Fitment

Installation efficiency and alignment accuracy are guaranteed by our clear, precision-machined threads. Each tie rod undergoes rigorous dimensional testing to ensure smooth threading and a perfect “bolt-on” fit with the inner tie rod and steering knuckle. These high-tolerance threads allow for effortless adjustment during wheel alignments, reducing labor time and ensuring a secure, stable connection within the vehicle’s steering geometry.

100% Heat-Treated Ball Pins & Premium Grease

At the heart of our component is a 100% high-strength heat-treated ball pin, engineered for maximum fatigue resistance and core toughness. To eliminate noise and vibration, the joint is pre-lubricated with premium imported grease that maintains stable viscosity across extreme temperatures. This combination ensures a responsive, “like-new” steering feel while withstanding the intense mechanical loads of daily driving and heavy-duty applications.

Tie Rod FAQ

To ensure maximum safety, our tie rod ends are manufactured using 40Cr or 45# forged steel. The ball studs undergo a specialized induction hardening process to reach a surface hardness of 50-62 HRC, providing superior tensile strength and preventing snapping under heavy steering loads.

es, we use High-Performance Chloroprene Rubber (CR). Unlike standard rubber, our boots are tested for high elasticity and oil resistance, ensuring they don't tear or perish when exposed to engine fluids or extreme steering angles. This keeps the internal lubricant sealed and contaminants out.

Yes, they are "ready-to-install." Our tie rods are pre-filled with high-quality Molybdenum Disulfide grease. Furthermore, each unit includes all essential hardware, such as castle nuts, cotter pins, or nyloc nuts, and the inner tie rods include the required lock washers where applicable.

Precision is key for wheel alignment. All our threads are CNC-machined to meet class 6H/6g standards. This ensures smooth engagement between the inner and outer tie rods, allowing for accurate toe-in/toe-out adjustments during professional wheel alignment without the risk of cross-threading.

Absolutely. Safety is our baseline. Every batch of our tie rods undergoes rigorous extraction (pull-out) and compression (push-out) testing. Our products consistently meet or exceed OEM standards (typically >25kN to 30kN depending on the model) to ensure the ball joint never dislodges during impact.

We apply a high-durability anti-corrosion coating, such as Black Phosphating or Zinc Flake coating, specifically on the threaded areas. This prevents the "seizing" common in salt-heavy regions, ensuring that mechanics can easily adjust the steering system years after installation.
