S3401710
The S3401710 is a precision-engineered steering tie rod assembly, manufactured to meet rigorous OEM standards for durability and performance. Constructed from high-grade, cold-forged steel with a hardness rating of 45-50 HRC, this component is built to withstand extreme stress and provide long-term reliability. The ball joint features a advanced low-friction polymer bearing for smooth, responsive steering feedback.
Our tie rods undergo stringent quality control, including salt-spray testing exceeding 120 hours to prevent corrosion. The precision-rolled threads ensure a perfect, secure fit with adjusting sleeves, guaranteeing optimal alignment and tire wear. As a direct replacement part, it restores your vehicle's steering system to its original integrity, ensuring safety, control, and a smooth ride. Trusted by professionals for its exact fit and exceptional build quality.
Our S3401710 tie rod is forged from high-carbon steel, undergoing a specialized heat treatment process to achieve a surface hardness of 45-50 HRC. This ensures exceptional resistance to impact and wear. To combat rust, every unit is subjected to a rigorous 120-hour salt spray test (ASTM B117 standard), significantly outperforming the industry average. This translates to a longer service life and reliable performance in all weather conditions, providing peace of mind for your customers.
At the heart of this assembly is a precision-engineered ball joint. It features a low-friction polymer composite bearing, which reduces steering effort and provides smoother, more responsive feedback compared to standard graphite designs. The threads are precision-rolled, not cut, ensuring superior tensile strength and a perfect, secure fit with the adjusting sleeve. This guarantees accurate wheel alignment, which is critical for even tire wear and stable, predictable vehicle handling.
We understand that reliability is non-negotiable. Each S3401710 tie rod is manufactured in a facility certified to IATF 16949 quality standards. It is 100% functionally tested to ensure it meets or exceeds OEM specifications for dimensions, torque, and angular movement. As a direct replacement, it guarantees a perfect fit without modifications, ensuring a hassle-free installation that restores the vehicle's original steering geometry and safety.
The boot is constructed from high-grade, thermo-stable rubber compounded with polymers to resist cracking, tearing, and degradation from heat, ozone, and road chemicals. Its unique labyrinth design provides a superior seal, effectively retaining high-performance lithium-complex grease and excluding contaminants. This robust construction ensures the internal ball joint remains protected, maintaining its integrity and performance over an extended lifespan, even under demanding driving conditions.

Here are specific application scenarios of Steering Tie Rod:
This tie rod is the critical solution for vehicles exhibiting vague steering, excessive play in the steering wheel, or uneven tire wear. Worn tie rods are a leading cause of alignment issues, accounting for over 30% of premature tire wear cases. Installing this OEM-equivalent part restores the rigid link between the steering system and the wheel hub, eliminating free play and re-establishing crisp, predictable steering response for enhanced driver safety and control.
This assembly is specifically designed for the replacement of worn inner or outer tie rod ends. Key indicators for its application include audible clicking or popping sounds during low-speed turns, visible looseness in the joint upon inspection, or irregular tire tread wear patterns (such as feathering). Its hardened ball stud and low-friction polymer bearing are engineered to eliminate these common failure points, providing a long-lasting, reliable repair.
During a full steering system service or suspension rebuild, replacing both left and right tie rods with this high-quality part is a best practice. This ensures balanced performance and prevents the rapid wear of new components. For vehicles with high mileage (typically over 80,000 km / 50,000 miles), proactive replacement as part of a maintenance schedule can prevent sudden failure and protect your investment in new tires and alignment.
This part is an essential inventory item for auto workshops and resellers serving a broad clientele. Its guaranteed OEM fit, backed by IATF 16949 manufacturing standards, ensures a hassle-free, profitable installation with no comebacks. For resellers, it represents a premium product line that meets the demand for reliable, data-backed components that professionals can trust for their repair orders.
For your safety, always consult a professional mechanic for installation. Begin by securely supporting the vehicle on jack stands. Carefully loosen the cotter pin and castle nut at the outer tie rod end. Use a tie rod separator tool to dislodge the stud from the steering knuckle without damaging the boot. When installing the new S3401710 assembly, thread it on to match the old component's count for approximate alignment. Finally, a professional wheel alignment is mandatory after replacement to restore precise toe settings, ensure optimal tire wear, and guarantee vehicle safety and handling.
