The Tie Rod End in Cadillac DTS cars is mainly used in the steering system where it connects the steering rack and the steering knuckles. This connection is critical for steadiness of the car and allows you to with precision control the direction of movement. The Tie Rod End consists of two components: we have the inner tie rod end and the outer tie rod end which both are instrumental in providing the right steering outputs. Different sorts of Tie Rod Ends may have been used in Cadillac DTS models in over the years, although differences are not explained. The primary role however, stays unchanged across these types and this is to guarantee good steering repeatability and car control. Because of these reasons, the proper functioning of the Tie Rod End can be said to be very crucial to the safety and control of the Cadillac DTS in its operations.
