A tie rod connects the front wheels, so they turn at the same time. The axle assembly contains the gears and axles that turn the wheels.

EVO 44 Magnum Sealed JK Axle Sleeves would replace the tire rod correct with welded gossets

a TIE rod upgrade would replace the TIE rod with a stronger one. those evo magnum sleeves strengthen the axle by 30% (at least thats what they say) so the tube does not bend.

Ahh the tire rod. You know, the rod that connects the tire to the hamster on the wheel. Yeah, you def want to upgrade that part.
