One of the things that can cause something like that is in this particular instance is a bent tie rod tube. It’s a little bit more like a boomerang than it is like that a nice straight tube like the example of the one we’re going put in when we’re all done. To go along with the work we found is that we had some worn bushings in the kingpins. You can see a little bit of the rust on the kingpin right here where the moisture got in. A little bit of lubrication will extend the life of the part but, it will eventually need to be replaced as well as it’s a “wear part”. While doing this, we also the seals.  All of that is what causes wear like this.

Over here Jason’s getting it all put back together, you see we have the cap back on the pin and bearing down underneath. We’re getting the studs cleaned up because we have an example of a little bit of “Never Sieze” that was used. That’s a no-no, there’s no need for something like that but that’s what we’re here for to get that fixed up. Thank you to Jason for the great work and appreciate the help making this video.

That’s just an example of the great work we’re doing here at Rice Tire in Manassas.

We carry the best tire brands available, Michelin, Dunlop, Goodyear, Continental, Firestone, Uniroyal, BFGoodrich, Falken, General, and others. Rice Tire is your best bet in local tire shops and normally has them in stock. An easy to use “search widget” on our website can tell what we have and produce an instant price quote for you. Simply search by tire size or make, model and year of car and we’ll match the right tire with your car, truck, or SUV. While you’re here getting things checked out, we’re also able to do numerous other jobs for you like oil and filter changes and can replace your brake pads if you need them too. Last but certainly not least, we take pride in what we do under your car as well as in our super clean waiting rooms stocked with the best coffee around.
