How Much Does it Cost to Replace a Tie Rod?
The cost of replacing tie rod ends ranges between $70-$240 for the parts and labor depending on the difficulty, but not replacing can cost more in the long run.
The Life of a Tie Rod End
The cost involved when replacing a tie rod end varies widely based on the make and model of vehicle and the difficulty and length of the repair. As with all things there are different levels of cost and quality when it comes to replacement tie rod ends. Off-brand tie rod ends can be much cheaper but the quality is often questionable and there may not be a warranty. Premium aftermarket parts from reputable brands can be more expensive but the quality reflects the price and you generally get a warranty against defect in the part.
Since we're talking about cost it's important to note that not replacing worn or damaged tie rod ends can accelerate the wear of other steering and suspension components making more replacements necessary and costing more in the long run.
