Dodge Journey Tie Rod links the steering gear to the front wheels, converting the steering wheel's motion into the movement that aims the vehicle. The assembly of the Tie Rod end in the steering system of the Dodge Journey typically has an inner Tie Rod and outer Tie Rod that are connected to one another with an adjusting section. It is a part of the steering linkage from rack or center link to steering knuckle. Every Tie Rod end consists of a small ball joint, housing a ball stud that sits in a lubricated socket sealed by a rubber boot that keeps contaminants out and holds grease in. These allow the joint to pivot in response to steering and suspension movements. In rack and pinion designs, the inner Tie Rod screws directly onto the rack. In other linkages, it connects to a center link. In all cases, however, the component transmits steering forces in tension. Worn out or torn boots indicate a level of wear that can create looseness. During the Journey in a Dodge vehicle, every driver has the same feeling when steering, owing to the sound connection that allows accurate control. Thus, the Journey goes on a predictable path.
