What problems can be caused by faulty Track Rod Ends?

Steering wheel vibrating as car driving

When driving along there is a noticeable vibration or shaking in the steering wheel, it can often go away or change depending on the speed.

Car is pulling to left or right

When driving in a straight line the car feels like it is pulling to the left or right. If you don't apply any pressure on the steering wheel and drive in a straight line it will feel as if the car is veering into the oncoming traffic or the side of the road.

Clunking noise from wheels

As the car moves around there seems to be a clunking sound coming from a wheel, it generally happens when turning at slower speeds, the sensation can sometimes be felt through the steering wheel.

Tyres showing excessive wear

The tyres are wearing down quicker than usual, there is a noticeable change in the amount of remaining tread on the tyre over a shorter period/distance than you'd expect.

Steering gets stuck when turning the steering wheel

When turning the steering wheel feels as though it's sticking or hitting a point where it can't turn anymore, sometimes there is a noise when this happens.

Suspension makes creaking or squeaking sound

At slow speeds there is a distinct creaking or squeaking sound coming from the corner of the car. The sound is more obvious at slow speeds and will usually be noticeable when you feel weight shift around the car when it changes direction.
