Tie Rod End Production Process
GDST tie rod ends go through a controlled multi-stage production process, from blank preparation and precision machining to surface treatment, assembly, packaging, and shipment.
From Metal Blanks to Ready-to-Ship Tie Rod Ends
Each production stage focuses on dimensional accuracy, thread quality, secure assembly, surface protection, and consistent aftermarket fitment.

PROCESS STEPS

PROCESS CONTROL
FINAL
INSPECTION
Blank Preparation
Metal blanks are prepared as the starting material for tie rod end machining, providing the required material shape and allowance for subsequent processing.
Shot Blasting
The blanks are shot blasted to remove surface scale and residues, creating a cleaner surface for precision machining.
Large Drilling
The main drilling operation creates the required internal opening in the component, preparing it for the following boring and machining operations.
Internal Boring
The internal hole is precisely bored to the required size and surface condition, creating the correct fit for the tie rod end's internal components.
Smooth Rod Turning
The rod section is turned to achieve the specified diameter and smooth surface finish required for accurate assembly and reliable thread formation.
Groove Machining
Specified grooves are machined onto the component to provide the required positioning and functional interface for subsequent assembly.
Thread Rolling
Threads are formed by rolling to achieve consistent thread dimensions and a clean profile for reliable connection with the mating steering components.
Ultrasonic Cleaning
Machined components are cleaned with an ultrasonic process to remove machining residues, oil, and fine contaminants before surface treatment and assembly.
Surface Treatment
The components receive the specified surface treatment to improve surface protection and resistance to corrosion during storage, transportation, and vehicle use.
Pre-Pressing
Components are pre-pressed into the required position before final riveting, helping establish stable assembly dimensions and proper component seating.
Rotary Riveting
Rotary riveting secures the assembled components in position, creating the required retention force and stable connection within the tie rod end.
Component Assembly
The processed components are assembled into the complete tie rod end, with each part positioned according to the required assembly specifications.
Packaging
Finished tie rod ends are packed according to order requirements, including GDST packaging or customized private-label bags, boxes, labels, and shipping marks.
Shipment
Packed orders are prepared for shipment according to customer requirements and released for delivery after the necessary production and order checks are completed.
Tie Rod End Quality Inspection
Every tie rod end is inspected through multiple quality control stages before shipment. Our QC process checks material properties, surface protection, hardness, joint strength, boot performance, service life, and joint clearance to help ensure consistent fitment and reliable steering performance.
