The Jeep Compass Tie Rod transmits the motion of the steering gear to the front wheel knuckles, which subsequently causes the vehicle to turn according to the driver's steering wheel action. The inner and outer steering linkage parts are Tie Rod with outer and inner sections connected through threads that can change length. Each joint is located inside a rubber boot that encloses a ball stud in a socket to maintain lubricant inside while allowing the linkage to pivot for steering and suspension movement. Often, manufacturers add lubricants in the joints that last for a lifetime. However, some versions come with grease fittings. In a rack and pinion steering system, the inner Tie Rod has a thread that has been turned on the rack and pivots there. The outer end connects to the steering arm. Excessive free play or looseness in any Tie Rod joint can cause steering inaccuracy, so it is checked for free movement, damaged dust boots, or worn sockets. The Tie Rod within a Jeep Compass system is attached to steering arms, links, and the rack or center link. It keeps the Compass wheels aligned under tension. The steering linkage of the Jeep Compass is consistent under all conditions and helps to maintain the confident Jeep handling.
