How Many Kilometers Should the Corolla Tie Rod End Be Replaced?

[LoganMarie]

The Corolla tie rod end does not have a fixed replacement interval and only needs to be replaced when damaged. The steering gear assists the driver in applying force when turning the steering wheel, reducing the effort required during steering, thereby making driving easier and more convenient. It is mainly divided into rack-and-pinion steering and worm-and-roller steering. The following are the methods to address steering gear noise: 1. If the airbag clock spring inside the steering wheel is broken or the connector is loose, it can also cause steering gear noise. Simply inspect, replace, or secure it at a repair shop. 2. If the tie rod end is aged or has excessive play, it needs to be replaced, and a four-wheel alignment should be performed. 3. If the steering gear dust cover is leaking oil, replacing the dust cover or reapplying grease can solve the issue. 4. If a "clicking" sound is heard when turning the steering wheel, it is likely due to a faulty strut mount top bearing or thrust bearing, which needs to be replaced. 5. If the power steering belt is improperly tensioned or aged, it will produce noise. Adjusting the belt tension or replacing the belt is necessary.
