- Every car, SUV and truck has a tie rod, which is a long pipe with two ends. This pipe is located in the front underside of a vehicle, and is directly connected to the steering components of the vehicle. The tie rod is used to keep the vehicle's front tires in proper alignment, and to insure that they turn in sync with each other. A tie rod is an essential vehicle component. There are many possible dangers when driving with a broken tie rod.
- A broken tie rod will cause all loss of steering ability in a vehicle. If a car is driven with a broken tie rod, the lack of steering could result in a wreck that damages one or more vehicles.
- If a driver knowingly operates a vehicle with a broken tie rod, that driver will be held liable for any wrecks, injuries or death that result.
- Driving a vehicle with a broken tie rod may lead to injury or death for the driver, passenger or bystanders as a result of the accident.
