Steering Rack Connecting Rod (inner tie rod) in the steering linkage. It threads onto the end of the steering rack and connects to the outer tie rod end, transmitting the rack's lateral movement out to the steering arm so the road wheel turns. Its inner ball joint lets the linkage articulate as the suspension moves through its travel.

Suitable for the right- or left-hand side. Replaced when the inner joint develops play or the rod is bent, restoring precise steering response and correct wheel alignment.

Frequently asked questions

What is the steering rack connecting rod?
The steering rack connecting rod is the inner tie rod in the steering linkage. It threads onto the end of the steering rack and links to the outer tie rod end, passing the rack's side-to-side movement out to the road wheel. Its inner ball joint lets the linkage move with the suspension.
How many are fitted per vehicle?
Two are fitted per vehicle, one on each side of the steering rack. This rod suits both the right- and left-hand side, so a single part number covers either position. Replace them in pairs if both inner joints have worn, to keep steering feel even side to side.
What are the signs the inner tie rod needs replacing?
Play in the inner ball joint shows up as steering wander, a knock over bumps, or uneven front tyre wear. A bent rod upsets wheel alignment. Because it's part of the steering, have it checked and the alignment reset by a workshop once any play is found.
How do I confirm this fits my vehicle?
This rod fits the Discovery Sport (2015+, up to VIN KH999999) and Range Rover Evoque (2012-2018, up to VIN HH999999), where it includes the boot. Both left- and right-hand drive use it. Check your VIN against the build break before ordering.
