Frequently asked questions
How do I know if tie rod is failing in Hyderabad?
Tie rod wear signs: 1) Loose/wandering steering — car doesn't track straight without corrections, 2) Clunking noise when turning the steering wheel at low speed, 3) Vibration in steering wheel, 4) Uneven tyre wear — inner or outer edge wearing faster on one side. A physical 'wiggle test' at Metre Per Second confirms tie rod wear — we grip the tyre at 9 o'clock and 3 o'clock and push/pull. Any play indicates tie rod or steering rack wear.
