A buyer of used Subaru xv se for sale should know that, the stabilizer bar tie rods are also called pendulum uprights or control rods , they consist of a circular rod made of steel at the ends of which two ball joints are welded, one on each side, There are less common solutions with one threaded end and the other with the ball joint or cases that are much rarer and dated than tie rods without joints, with both ends threaded.
Tie-Rods are Necessary
These tie rods are used to connect the stabilizer bar and the shock absorber. The threaded joints are installed with simple hexagonal nuts with a nylon ring inside, the nylon ring serves to prevent loosening due to vibrations. The tie rod is, therefore, a necessary component for the operation of the anti-roll bar: solid steel bar that prevents the excessive rolling of the car during a curve. In the past, some tie rods were made entirely of plastic. It was an economic solution, but not an optimal one. In fact, the plastic deformed excessively with respect to the metal due to its high elasticity, prematurely breaking. Lots of cars use high-quality stainless steel tie rods that resist mechanical stress and water. The steel tie-rods are sturdier and very durable than plastic ones, and the bench price is virtually identical. Each stabilizer bar always mates with two tie rods. Almost all the cars have the front bar, and more and more are those that also have the rear bar.
Need To Check Properly
The front tie rods are never interchangeable with the rear ones because they are of different lengths, being more stressed, they are damaged much earlier than the rear ones. In these models the joints have angles designed and well defined and different, so be careful not to make mistakes. Tie rods can be dismantled manually or using pneumatic screwdrivers. The assembly phase is very delicate and should be carried out exclusively by hand and respecting the tightening torques prescribed by the brand. The screwdriver would not damage the threaded connection due to excessive torque but would cause the joint to rotate on the disk on which it rests, irreversibly compromising its integrity. Here is a tip for the buyer that are ready to pay used Subaru xv se price that is, Ask your car technician that, what the exact tie rod is to replace and buy it with the utmost attention, after installation check that the mounting side has been respected, because if it reverses its position, the stabilizer bar will no longer work regularly.
The Core of the Rod
The rod tie rods are located at the wheels and connect the shock absorber to the stabilizer bar. The core of the tie rod is a stainless steel rod with two spherical joints welded at the end. Each joint is protected by a rubber cap and has a threaded shank to allow assembly. The steel ball housed below the cap rests on a disc in anti-friction material (Teflon/nylon) allowing it to rotate without sticking. The replacement of the tie rod is usually diagnosed by the technician when wear makes them noisy. With the wear of the disc in anti-friction material, the play increases and this creates noise when passing through holes at low speed. Damage to the protective cap compromises the life of the entire component. The breakage of the tie rod bar does not generate the vehicle stop under any circumstances, but the play not only generates an annoying noise but also affects the connections, compromising the regular operation of the stabilizer bar and therefore the road holding of the car.
