Stay in control with OEM-quality RoadLeveler® tie rod ends

No matter the make, no matter the model, wear and tear eventually takes a toll – and your truck’s steering system is no exception. Proper maintenance of the steering and ride-control systems provides more than just a comfortable ride. The right care and timely parts replacement reduce tire wear – the second highest vehicle expense behind fuel – and can help you lessen downtime and save on repair costs ... not to mention keep you safe and in control on the road.

When checking for steering linkage wear, tie rods are among the most crucial parts to examine; any lateral or vertical movement means they should be replaced – preferably both sides at once to avoid uneven steering.

And when the time comes to replace them, consider OEM-quality RoadLeveler® Tie Rod Ends, offered at your local Kenworth dealer. They are available for all leading makes and are backed by a two-year, 200,000-mile warranty.
RoadLeveler Tie Rod Ends are self-adjusting to compensate for any wear that may occur in the bearing seats. Additional features include:

• Micro-finished, heat-treated steel ball studs positioned between two acetal plastic bearing seats that allow for wear, compression and grease flow
• A self-adjusting compression ring, which expands to keep the bearing firmly seated against the ball stud, reducing vibration and resulting in a smoother ride
• Bearing construction that eliminates the need for additional grease
• A polyurethane seal to keep contamination out and grease in
