Workshop professionals know they can count on Continental to provide quality across a broad range of aftermarket product sectors and one of the latest sectors covered is steering components. 

Continental’s product portfolio recently expanded to include high-quality steering components such as; inner tie rods, track rod ends and steering boots for repairs to the most popular models in the European market, including the latest electric vehicles.

Irish garages have already been impressed by the mechanical strength, reliable operation and the precision fit of these components. Registered workshops can also benefit from a full five-year guarantee, something which no other manufacturer is able to match. This enables automotive professionals to carry out their repair jobs safely and reliably and provide customers with peace of mind and first-class service.

Inner tie rods are mounted between the steering gear and track rod end and ensure agility, flexibility and driving comfort. The track rod end transfers the track rod’s radial forces to the steering knuckles. This is what makes the wheels turn in accordance with the driver’s steering movements. The quality and precision of this ball joint can therefore be instantly felt every time the steering wheel is turned. Continental track rod ends come with a thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) boot and a special coating for maximum robustness, a long lifetime and optimum corrosion protection.

While steering boots seem like very simple components, they are immensely important for safety. These rubber boots protect the steering gear from dirt that might otherwise enter the joint. Moisture that could wash out the lubricant and thus impair operation is also effectively kept out. Continental boots offer the highest level of protection and are always supplied with the requisite mounting clamps.

The steering components from Continental offer both motorists and workshop professionals a number of crucial benefits:

• Exact fit – precisely manufactured metal parts and threads ensure perfect installation 
• Excellent durability – hardened, corrosion-resistant coatings protect against wear 
• Maximum robustness – resistant materials to withstand even the most extreme conditions

• Guaranteed quality – five-year guarantee for registered workshops 

Workshops can also benefit from practical services, such as free installation instructions and service videos. Meanwhile, the handy article search function in the Product Information Center (PIC) makes sure that all relevant product information can be quickly found.
