Abstract
A tie rod joins the knuckle and the center link and the rack to the steering knuckle in suspension system. The tie rod transferred the forces from rack to the steering knuckle to turn the wheels. It is a circular rod with threaded part, Outer end and inner end. The failure of tie rod may cause inconstancy of vehicle and can cause an accident. So it’s important to check the strength of tie rod. The tie rod may get fail due to forces and bumping of vehicle during steering. In this project we modified the existing design of tie rod in such a way that its life becomes infinite. The finite element models of the modified tie rod also analyzed to find stiffness and stress distributions in each component.
