What is an Inner Rack End?

An inner rack end is a crucial component of a vehicle's steering system that connects the steering rack to the steering arm or tie rod, enabling the wheels to turn.

These denote the specific dimensions and pitch of the external threads on the rack end, indicating which steering rack and tie rod ends it is designed to connect with.

Troubleshooting

Steering feels loose or has excessive play

Check the tightness of the inner rack end's connection to the steering rack and the tie rod. Ensure the counter nut is secured. If the component shows signs of wear or damage, replacement is necessary.

Uneven tire wear
