Abstract – Every organization striving for cost effective product at a lower price and within minimum period of time to market. That keeps pressure on engineers to consistently strive to design the most effective products at, the lower price. The work is focus on functioning of the tie rod, the methods of its performance evaluation its optimization. The tie rod end job is to ensure the wheels are well aligned. It provides the adjustment of wheel alignment that keeps the inner and outer edges of the tires from wearing out. Tie rod having an outer and inner type of ends .the existing tie rod is of solid steel, in this work we make that inner end is hollow with11.0mmID. After analysis by using FEM method and experimentation. It gives 12.12% less weight than solid tie rod, without failure.
