rod end

The steering wheel  connects the tie- rod with the slant neck. In the conventional type suspension systems, it provides the rotation of the slant neck around the steering knuckle. In the MacPherson suspension systems the steering knuckle is replaced by the rod end. The rod end consists of a knuckle and a shaft. The steering wheel transmits the movement from the tie- rod to the slant neck. As the result of the driving power created in this way, the wheels are turning perpendicularly to the road centerline. The external shaft of he rod end is adjustable. In this way the rod end length can be changed becoming adjustable during assembly.
