A tie rod on an F250 is a unique element of your vehicle's steering system. First of all, The part connects two upper and lower components, the steering knuckle and the steering rack. When you turn your steering wheel one direction, the tie rod helps translate that motion into the direction the wheels will travel. Now, if there were no tie rods on your vehicle, you could drive in a straight line as much as you liked, but the vehicle would not be able to turn! That is why tie rods play a critical role in safe vhecle operation.
There are two tie rods on your car — an inner tie rod and an outer tie rod. The inner tie rod is the one that is closest to the center of the car, while the outer tie rod is on the outer side.
