Front Inner Tie Rod End

The PROFORGED front inner tie rod end is a direct replacement steering component engineered for Tesla Model 3 and Model S vehicles from 2016 through 2022. As a steering linkage component, the inner tie rod end transmits steering input from the steering rack directly to the front wheel knuckles, making it critical for responsive handling and directional control. Whether you're addressing worn steering feel, performing suspension maintenance, or rebuilding after a collision, this OE-style inner tie rod end restores factory performance and steering geometry precision.

Manufactured from chromoly steel and finished in black oxide, this male-threaded tie rod end combines durability with corrosion resistance. The chromoly construction provides superior strength compared to standard mild steel, critical for handling the lateral and longitudinal forces encountered during cornering and acceleration. The male thread design interfaces with the female-threaded steering rod, allowing for precise toe adjustment and repeatability during alignment procedures. Black oxide finishing protects against rust and oxidation while maintaining a professional appearance, essential for long-term reliability in variable weather conditions. The compact dimensions and lightweight design at 1.58 lbs ensure minimal unsprung weight addition while maintaining structural integrity.

Mechanics and DIY enthusiasts restoring Tesla steering geometry will find this replacement essential for maintaining proper wheel alignment and eliminating play at the steering rack interface. Installation requires standard suspension tools and a wheel alignment following replacement—critical for safe operation and tire wear control. Each unit is sold individually, so both left and right sides require separate purchases for complete steering system renewal. This is a bolt-on replacement suitable for garage work, professional shop environments, or collision repair facilities.
