If you own a car, you are already aware of the fact that keeping your car in a good cond. The wheel rod is one very important part of your car that you will not think much about. Wheel rod or wheel axle is one of the main parts connecting the wheels to the main structure (chassis) of your car. That's important — you need that connection so you can steer your car and drive it where you want to go.
Without a working wheel rod, your car can no longer move properly, and you can no longer steer it. Without a wheel rod, it would be like trying to drive a toy car but the wheels are not even attached! Because of this, it is vital to ensure that your car's wheel rod is always in great working condition. Consistency in your assessments can avoid greater issues down the road.
Pulling To Left/Right - While you are driving, if you notice that your car is pulling to left/ right by itself without you turning the steering wheel, this may be to do with the wheel rod not operating correctly. How your car feels when you drive should also be important to pay close attention to.
Vibrations – If you notice a great deal of shaking or vibrations in your car, and especially if this happens when you are driving at speed, then this could be another key sign of a rod that is bad. It can be disconcerting and can make the car difficult to control.

Sometimes, the wheel surface area will contact the surface of the suspension part called steering knuckle, so it is necessary to break away the wheel rod. This component is what helps your wheels spin, so use caution when pulling it apart.
Put Your Car Back Together - Your final step is to replace the wheel. Tighten the lug nuts hand-tight and gently lower your car back to the floor. You’d want to make sure that everything was put back together as it should be before you drive again.
