Stay safely on track: with the new steering components from Continental

Professional mechanics rely on Continental’s high standards of quality for their replacement parts. And they are now able to source even more parts from the same place, as our extensive portfolio has been further expanded to include high-quality steering components: 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. 

What really matters
Mechanical strength, reliable operation and a precision fit – that’s what makes a good steering component. We offer registered workshops quality they can trust with 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 delight their customers with first-class service.

You can’t do without them
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. 

Our track rod ends come with a thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) boot and a special coating for maximum robustness, a long lifetime and optimum corrosion protection. 

The steering boot seems like a very simple component at first glance, but it is also 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. Incidentally, our boots are always supplied with the requisite mounting clamps.

Uncompromising quality brings benefits
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 
• High-quality rubber/metal bonds – one of our specialties for many decades now, resulting in long-lasting quality 
• Maintenance-friendly design – high-quality lubricants guarantee reliable performance 
• Guaranteed quality – five-year guarantee for registered workshops 
• Top service – free installation instructions, technical hotline and clear assembly videos 

The new replacement parts are available to order now, and there are already plans to further expand the product range in late 2025. In addition to this, 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.

The arrival of the new steering parts means we are adding new categories to our product range for workshop professionals – just as we’ve done with our wheel bearing kits and suspension components. Together with our belts and drive components, as well as the corresponding kits, tools and services, this marks another logical step towards us becoming a one-stop shop offering a comprehensive, future-focused portfolio for the aftermarket.
