What does a track rod end do?
A track rod is made up of two rods – an inner and an outer track rod. The inner rod is attached to the steering rack and pinion, while the outer rod is attached to the steering knuckle.
A track rod end is a small, flexible ball joint which sits on the end of the tie rods, connecting them to the steering rack and front wheel steering knuckle. They swivel and allow the steering system to move efficiently and keep the rack and pinion system in good condition.
Even though a track rod end is a very small piece of the car, it is an essential part of the steering system and could cause major issues if broken.
Nissan
The Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. is a Japanese multinational automobile manufacturer, established over 85 years ago, in 1933.
Currently, they operate as part of the Renault–Nissan–Mitsubishi Alliance, incorporating two other industry giants under their umbrella operation.
How popular is Nissan in the United Kingdom?
Nissan has always been a popular household name, and recently a bestseller to boot, with around 1.7million vehicles on the UK roads today.
Their introduction to the SUV market happened in 2007 with the Qashqai, and in 2018 it was announced as the 4th best-selling car in the UK.
Stylish well-priced cars for the road, off-road and the track
Nissan’s various sized and styled SUVs are well priced with something for both urban and adventure seeking drivers. The British built Nissan Qashqai has made great waves since its introduction and its smaller compact crossover cousin, the Nissan Juke, isn’t going to be too far behind for long.
Nissan’s latest electric models
The Nissan Leaf is an all-electric compact hatchback that is leading the way in this fast-growing and competitive market. It became the world’s best selling electric car in 2014, holding 45% of the all-electric car market.
Nissan’s second zero emissions vehicle is the E-NV200 Combi, a 5- or 7-seater MPV utilising the same technologies as the ground- and record-breaking Leaf.
The Nissan GT-R: true track performance
With increased torque and horsepower, the latest GT-R delivers up to 3.8-litres of twin-turbo V6 performance, an incredibly clean drag coefficient providing more consistent downforce, and utilising Nissan’s Vehicle Dynamic Control to consistently monitor steering and braking, this Nissan technology automatically makes compensations to oversteer, understeer, engine speed and braking to provide maximum performance with minimum effort.
And if you can’t quite stretch to the £80k+ price tag for your performance sports car, then the Nissan 370Z could be a more affordable option starting at the lower base price of £29k.

Can you drive with a broken track rod end?
Usually if the track rod end is worn you can continue driving. However, if it is completely broken you should avoid driving your car as the steering will be seriously compromised. If you experience any of the above symptoms you should have your steering system looked at to ensure your car remains safe and roadworthy.
What happens if you don't change a bad track rod end?
Failing to change a broken or faulty track rod will result in unreliable and inaccurate steering. This can obviously be very dangerous especially when changing direction and when driving at high speeds. We recommend having your track rod ends replaced as soon as you suspect an issue.
The law, vehicle regulations and your MOT
Your track rod ends are checked as part of your MOT test. That way, you’ll have an annual update on their condition. It’s important that you don’t ignore any advice given in your MOT advisory notes. Worn or broken track rod ends count as an MOT failure, so make sure you keep them in good condition!
It goes without saying that keeping your whole steering system in tip-top condition is essential. If you’re not in control of where the car is going, you could end up in a dangerous situation on the roads.
