"Although there are various types of steering systems, such as rack and pinion steering and recirculating ball steering, they all share a common component that enables them to steer properly - the tie rod end. Engaged every time you turn your steering wheel, tie rods are found on each front wheel and connect the steering gear to the steering knuckle. Simply put, you can’t steer your car without tie rods. Serving as the pivot point between the steering rack, steering arm and steering wheel, tie rods not only help move your wheels when you steer but they make turning possible. While the rack and pinion system and recirculating ball system each operate differently, both systems use a tie rod to connect the steering rack to the steering arm, which is connected to the steering wheel. Made of high-strength steel, a tie rod is a slender cylindrical structure with two sections. Consisting of an inner tie rod and an outer tie rod end, they work together to give you optimum wheel control. The inner tie rod is made up of an inline ball joint and connects to the steering rack while the outer tie rod connects to the steering knuckle. Since tie rods are used every time you steer your vehicle, they are susceptible to damage and wear. Normal wear and tear can cause a tie rod to break down but driving hazards like poor road conditions, potholes and accidents can also cause tie rod damage or failure."

Aftermarket auto spare parts are parts that are made by companies other than the original manufacturer of the vehicle. These parts can be a cost-effective alternative to OEM (original equipment manufacturer) parts, but their quality can vary. It is important to do your research and choose a reputable aftermarket parts supplier to ensure that you are getting a reliable product.
In some cases, it may be possible to use auto spare parts from a different model or make of vehicle on your own car. However, it is important to be aware that using parts from a different vehicle may not always be compatible or may require modification in order to fit properly. It is always a good idea to consult a mechanic or the manufacturer before using non-OEM parts.
To determine if an auto spare part is compatible with your vehicle, you will need to know the make, model, and year of your vehicle. You can then check with the parts supplier or consult a mechanic to see if the part is suitable for your vehicle.
