Product Description

Restore precise steering control with the Arrowhead Tie Rod/Rack End, designed for vehicles in the Audi, Volkswagen, and Seat range. This component is a crucial part of the steering linkage, connecting the steering rack to the wheel hub and allowing for accurate wheel movement. A worn tie rod can lead to loose steering, uneven tyre wear, and compromised handling, making timely replacement essential for safe driving.

This Arrowhead tie rod/rack end is compatible with select Audi, Volkswagen, and Seat models, including popular vehicles like the VW Polo 6R (from 2009 onwards) and Audi A1 (2010-2018). Always confirm your vehicle's model, year, engine size, and engine code before placing your order to ensure correct fitment.

Common symptoms of a failing tie rod include excessive play in the steering wheel, knocking noises when turning, uneven or rapid tyre wear, and difficulty maintaining proper wheel alignment. You may also notice vibration or wandering while driving, especially at higher speeds.

If you experience any of these issues, inspect your tie rods promptly. Replacement should be carried out as soon as wear or damage is detected to maintain safe and predictable steering response. Professional wheel alignment is recommended after installation to ensure optimal performance and tyre longevity.
