How Much Does a Tie Rod End Cost to Replace?
A worn tie rod end affects steering and tyre wear. A Cranbourne West specialist explains the cost.
What drives the cost
Tie-rod-end cost is usually modest for the part and labour, but a wheel alignment afterwards is essential (replacing it changes the toe). Inner vs outer tie rods and how many affect the figure.
It’s a relatively affordable steering repair — the alignment is part of doing it properly.
