Inner Tie Rod Socket Kit for precise steering control
This steering socket kit keeps your front wheels tracking straight and your alignment true. It connects the rack-and-pinion to the outer tie rod, transferring your steering input to the road with tight, predictable response. Ideal for restoring OEM steering feel on Infiniti/Nissan platforms.
Why this part is needed
Over time, the internal ball-and-socket wears, grease dries, and play develops. Replacing the socket kit removes slack, reduces tire scrub, and protects the steering rack from shock and contamination.
How it works
A hardened ball stud pivots inside a lubricated socket, allowing up/down and left/right articulation while pushing and pulling the tie rod. It threads into the rack, locks with a washer, and seals under the boot to keep dirt and water out.
If the part is worn or broken ⚠️
Expect loose steering, clunks over bumps, shimmy at speed, wandering, and uneven tire wear. A torn boot lets grit in, accelerating wear and risking costly rack damage. Severe failure can cause dangerous loss of steering precision.
Tech notes ️
Replace in pairs when possible, torque to spec, use new lock washer/boot clamps, and align the vehicle after installation.
