A tie rod or tie bar (also known as a hanger rod if vertical) is a slender structural unit used as a tie and (in most applications) capable of carrying tensile loads only. It is any rod or bar-shaped structural member designed to prevent the separation of two parts, as in a vehicle. Tie rods and anchor plates in the ruins of Coventry Cathedral
A typical ball joint with cutaway view (right) An inner tie rod end cut open to expose the ball joint. In an automobile, ball joints are spherical bearings that connect the control arms to the steering knuckles, and are used on virtually every automobile made. [1] They bionically resemble the ball-and-socket joints found in most tetrapod ...
Steering system showing drag link. A drag link converts rotary motion from a crank arm, to a second bellcrank, usually in an automotive steering system.. While the origin of the term is not clear, it pre-dates the automobile, and is described as in use in 1849 as a means of rotating a Ducie cultivator being operated by cable by stationary steam engine (or between engines).
A rod end bearing, also known as a heim joint (North America) or rose joint (UK and elsewhere), is a mechanical articulating joint. Such joints are used on the ends of control rods, steering links , tie rods , or anywhere a precision articulating joint is required, and where a clevis end (which requires perfect alignment between the components ...

A parallelogram steering linkage is called such because like its namesake, the two sides of the linkage run parallel to each other and are equal in distance. This type of steering linkage uses four tie rods, one inner and one outer on each side (left and right) that are connected by an adjustment sleeve, a center link (which runs between the tie rods), an idler arm on the passenger side, and a ...
For example: Say the inner tie rod mounting point is moved up either by moving the rack or modifying the pitman arm mounting point or arm drop. The result is the tie rod's arc will change. It will then require a change in the tie rod length to be in proper alignment so the radius of the arc will change as well.
A hurricane tie used to fasten a rafter to a stud. A tie, strap, tie rod, eyebar, guy-wire, suspension cables, or wire ropes, are examples of linear structural components designed to resist tension. [1] It is the opposite of a strut or column, which is designed to resist compression. Ties may be made of any tension resisting material.
