ABSTRACT
Tie rods or Track rods are an integral part of vehicle’s steering
system. Just as its name suggests a Tie rod ties vehicle’s steering rack
to the steering arm. It is used to give direction to tires according to
steering wheel movement. A tie rod assembly is attached to each end
of the relay rod. The tie rod assembly consists of inner and outer tie
rods that are usually connected through an adjusting sleeve. Tie rod
may get fail due to varying forces and bumping of vehicle during
steering. The forces from the steering are also considered during the
static condition of car. The finite element models of the modified tie
rod also analyzed to find stiffness and stress distributions in each
component.
