Steering rod is an important part of the steering mechanism of a car, which directly affects the stability of the car’s handling, the safety of operation and the service life of the tire. Steering rods are divided into 2 types, namely steering straight rods and steering cross rods. The steering straight rod is responsible for transmitting the movement of the steering rocker arm to the knuckle arm; the steering tie rod is the bottom edge of the steering trapezoidal mechanism, and it is a key component to ensure that the right and left steering wheels have a correct motion relationship.
The automobile steering rod is mainly composed of: ball joint assembly, nut, tie rod assembly, left telescopic rubber sleeve, right telescopic rubber sleeve, self-tightening spring, etc.
Steering rods are divided into 2 types, namely steering straight rods and steering cross rods. The steering straight rod is the transmission lever between the steering rocker arm and the steering knuckle arm; the steering cross rod is the bottom edge of the steering trapezoidal mechanism.

Steering Straight Rod The structure of the steering straight rod is mainly two types: one has the ability to mitigate reverse impact, and the other does not have this ability, as shown in Figure 2. In order to mitigate the reverse impact, a compression spring is provided at the rod end of the straight rod. The spring axis is the same as the straight rod in the opposite direction. As a result, it needs to withstand the force along the straight rod axis. The gap between bowls due to wear. For the second structure, the priority is given to the rigidity of the connection rather than the ability to mitigate the impact, as shown in the following figure b). Compared with the former, the pressure condition of the compression spring is improved, and it is only used to eliminate the gap caused by wear on the spherical surface.
Tie rod The tie rods in a non-independent suspension are structurally different from the tie rods in an independent suspension.
