Frequently asked questions about Skoda track rod end replacement & repairs
Read our answers to questions about track rod end replacement costs, symptoms and more.
What does a track rod end replacement on my Skoda involve?
Whilst there are differences in the process between vehicles, there are some basic procedures that a mechanic will carry out
- The vehicle will be raised and the road wheel removed
- Mechanic will then undo the component from the steering knuckle and tie rod
- A new track rod end will be fitted
- The vehicle will be put back together and lowered back to the ground
How do I know if my Skoda track rod end needs replacing?
If there is wear in the parts, this can cause
- Vibration through the steering wheel
- Knocking over bumps and whilst changing direction
- Uneven and premature tyre wear
- Imprecise steering.
How long does it take to change a track rod end on my Skoda?
A track rod end replacement usually takes around 1 hour, but can take less or more time. Ultimately, the time that the job will take will depend on a number of factors, like your vehicle's make and model, year, as well as other factors. Select your car at the top of this page for information on job time and cost for your vehicle through ClickMechanic.
How often should I replace my Skoda track rod end?
As the track rod ends are in constant use as the car is driven and are exposed to damage from road debris, a track rod end replacement is a common repair. The most frequent reason is that the protective boot has split, been cut or simply perished over time and this is an MOT failure.
If you experience any of the symptoms related to the track rod end replacement listed, it is important to have the part inspected and replaced if required as soon as possible.
What causes Skoda track rod ends to break?
There are many reasons why a track rod end may break. Some of the most common reasons include:
- Worn out or damaged bushes: The track rod end is connected to the steering knuckle via a bush. Over time, these bushes can become worn out or damaged, causing the track rod end to loosen and eventually break.
- Corrosion: If the track rod end is exposed to salt, moisture or other corrosive materials, it can weaken and break over time.
- Impact: If the track rod end experiences a sudden impact, such as from a pothole or curb, it can break.
- Improper installation: If the track rod end is not installed correctly, it can break under the stress of normal driving.
How do I know if my Skoda track rod ends are worn?
The most common symptom of a worn track rod end is a loose feeling in the steering wheel. The steering wheel may feel like it is wobbling back and forth, or it may feel like the car is wandering from side to side. Another symptom is uneven tyre wear.
