1. Core Identification
This NISSAN 48647-JD01A Front Left Outer Tie Rod End (SE-N201L) is a premium OE replacement manufactured by EEM Auto Parts, precisely engineered to match Nissan's strict specifications for front steering systems in T31 X-Trail, J10 Qashqai, and Dualis models. Crafted with high-strength forged 40Cr steel and pre-installed dust boot with grease fitting, it effectively connects the inner tie rod to the steering knuckle, ensuring precise steering control, stable handling, and smooth wheel alignment adjustments. As a critical steering component, it transfers steering input from the rack to the wheels while accommodating suspension movement, providing a safe and responsive driving experience.
2. Core Components & Construction
The 48647-JD01A Tie Rod End features a robust forged steel body with anti-corrosion black oxide finish, providing exceptional resistance to rust and road salt damage. It includes a pre-assembled, factory-greased ball joint with a durable rubber dust boot to prevent contamination and extend service life. The internal thread (M14 x 1.50 RHT) and external thread (M10 x 1.25) match original specifications for precise fitment and adjustment. The tapered cone (11.9 mm) ensures secure attachment to the steering knuckle, while the integrated grease fitting allows for easy maintenance to maximize component lifespan. All mounting points feature precision-machined surfaces for proper torque distribution and reliable performance under heavy loads.
3. Core Function
The front outer tie rod end plays a vital role in maintaining proper wheel alignment, transferring steering input, and absorbing road vibrations. It connects the inner tie rod to the steering knuckle, allowing the wheels to turn in response to steering wheel movement while accommodating vertical suspension travel. A worn or damaged tie rod end can lead to excessive steering play, uneven tire wear, steering wheel vibration, pulling to one side, clunking noises during turns, and compromised handling performance. This OE-spec replacement restores factory steering geometry, ensuring precise steering response and safe vehicle operation.
