 Inner Tie Rod | Automotive Blessings 2 Marietta

Inner Tie Rod Ends are part of the steering system. They connect the steering gearbox, or rack and pinion, to the Outer Tie Rod Ends. When getting an alignment, they are the part that gets adjusted to correct the steering wheel.


When to Replace Inner Tie Rods

When checking Inner Tie Rods, they should not have any movement in and out. If there is any play in them, they need to be replaced. Even a little play can affect how the steering wheel looks when driving straight down the road. The Steering Wheel should be leveled. Some Inner Tie Rod Ends can only be replaced with the rack and pinion. After any Tie Rod replacement, an Alignment needs to be done to straighten the Steering Wheel.

Managing a fleet of vehicles is more than scheduling oil changes and fixing breakdowns. It’s about reliability, safety, cost control, and minimizing downtime.

At Automotive Blessings, we work with fleet managers who need a shop that understands the business side of vehicle maintenance, not just the mechanical side.

Your tires are one of the most important safety components on your vehicle, yet they’re often the most overlooked. Regularly checking your tires helps protect your safety, improves vehicle performance, and can save you money by catching problems early. Tires affect how your car steers, stops, and handles the road especially in wet or slippery conditions. Checking your tires doesn’t require special tools or mechanical knowledge. Tread depth, tire pressure, wear patterns, and visible damage all tell a story about your vehicle’s condition. Ignoring tire problems can lead to poor traction, longer stopping distances, uneven wear, and even blowouts. On the other hand, catching tire issues early can extend tire life and help prevent suspension and alignment problems. At Automotive Blessings , tire checks are part of how we help customers stay safe and informed. Whether it’s during routine maintenance or a specific concern, we believe understanding your tires helps you make better decisions for your vehicle. Make it a habit — Let Automotive Blessings help the life of your tires today! 📍 Automotive Blessings 📍 840 Shallowford Rd, Kennesaw, GA 30144 📍 770-585-0400 www.automotiveblessings.com
