Powers and Sons has generations of experience developing tie rod ends for the automotive industry.
Long-Term Performance
The duty cycle of a tie rod end is very severe. It sees high loads with every pothole or curb hit. It sees high temperatures because of its proximity to the brake rotor. It sees ambient temperatures as low as –40 degrees. It is in a direct splash zone for road salt and other contaminants. It is expected to be low friction to improve handling. And it is expected to last ten years or 150,000 miles.
Powers and Sons offers tie rod ends in ball sizes ranging from 22mm to 41mm. Applications range from “B-Class” subcompact cars to heavy military vehicles and class 8 trucks. The tie rod ends may be greasable or maintenance free, depending on customer preference.
Powers and Sons GEN II socket design has been developed over a period of years to provide excellent long-term performance in the most extreme conditions with zero maintenance.
