FAQs

Is this assembly compatible with both sides of the vehicle?

Yes, the Febi 17573 steering rod is designed for front axle placement and can be used on either the left or the right side.

Does this product come with a warranty?

Febi products generally carry a manufacturer's warranty against defects in materials and workmanship; please contact your supplier for specific warranty claims.

What is the total length of this steering rod?

This steering rod assembly has a total length of 300 mm.

Do I need special tools to install this?

You will need standard automotive tools including a torque wrench, an appropriately sized socket for the crown nut, and potentially a tie rod end puller to remove the old unit.

Can I replace just one side?

While it is possible to replace only one side, it is industry best practice to replace steering and suspension components in pairs to ensure balanced handling.

Troubleshooting

Steering wheel vibration after installation

This is typically caused by improper wheel alignment; verify that a professional alignment was performed after the part was installed.

Difficulty threading the assembly into the rack

Ensure that the threads are free of rust or debris and match the M16 x 1.5 specification; do not force the component, as cross-threading can damage the rack.

Clicking sound during low-speed turns

Check that the crown nut is torqued to the manufacturer's specified setting and that the cotter pin is securely in place.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before starting, consult your vehicle's service manual to confirm that the M16 x 1.5 thread and 300 mm length specifications match your specific steering system. Installation should always be performed on a level surface with the vehicle properly supported by jack stands. After mounting the assembly, it is mandatory to have a professional four-wheel alignment performed to ensure proper toe-in settings and prevent premature tire wear. For long-term care, periodically inspect the rubber gaiters and boots associated with the steering system to prevent debris and moisture from entering the joint assembly.
