Steering machine inner and outer ball joints

Steering Machine Inner and Outer Ball Joints refer to the critical linkage components that connect the steering rack to the steering knuckles, enabling precise wheel movement. The inner ball joint (inner tie rod end) attaches to the steering rack and allows horizontal motion, while the outer ball joint (outer tie rod end) connects to the steering knuckle, facilitating pivot and articulation. Together, they translate steering input into wheel turning, maintain alignment (toe angle), and absorb road vibrations. Worn joints cause steering play, uneven tire wear, alignment issues, and safety risks. Regular inspection and timely replacement are essential for optimal handling and safety.
