First, let’s keep it simple: the
Chery Tiggo 7 Pro Steering Rod End (RH) 201000218AA isn’t just a “small metal joint”—it’s your
right-side steering’s “precision connector.” Think of it as a compact, movable link that fastens the
Tiggo 7 Pro’s steering rod (the long part that carries steering input) to the right front wheel’s
knuckle. Its main job? To pass your steering wheel movements straight to the right wheel—so when you turn left or right, the wheel responds quickly and exactly. Without it, steering would feel loose, the car might pull to the right, or you could lose control of the wheel’s direction over bumps.
This right-hand (RH) steering rod end is
exclusively designed for Chery Tiggo 7 Pro models—always confirm with your car’s VIN or owner’s manual! It’s engineered to fit perfectly: its size matches the Tiggo 7 Pro’s steering rod and wheel knuckle (no forced fitting), its movable ball joint handles the wheel’s up-down and left-right motion (no stiffness), and its threads align with the steering rod (for easy, secure attachment). A generic rod end? You’ll face trouble: it’ll wear out fast (causing loose steering), seize up (making turns stiff), or misalign (leading to uneven tire wear)—turning every drive into a safety risk.
Its role is make-or-break for handling—it does 3 critical things for your Tiggo 7 Pro:
Transfers steering input: When you turn the steering wheel, the steering rod pushes or pulls this rod end. The rod end then moves the right front wheel’s knuckle, aligning the wheel’s direction with your input (e.g., turns the wheel right when you steer right).
Allows wheel flexibility: It lets the right front wheel bounce over bumps and turn at different angles—without breaking the steering connection. This means smooth steering even on rough roads, no jarring or stiffness.
Maintains stability: It keeps the steering rod firmly attached to the wheel knuckle, preventing “play” (looseness) in the steering. No more overcorrecting the wheel to stay straight—driving feels steady and controlled.

This 201000218AA steering rod end is only for the right front (RH) of Chery Tiggo 7 Pro models—wrong fit = steering failure:
Steering precision depends on it—DIY mistakes cause accidents:
Remove old rod end: Techs disconnect the old rod end from the steering rod and wheel knuckle, then remove any rust or debris from the mounting points.
Install new rod end: They screw 201000218AA onto the steering rod (tightening to Chery’s torque specs) and fasten it to the wheel knuckle.
Align the front wheels: They perform a front-end alignment (critical!) to ensure the right wheel is angled correctly—no pulling or uneven tire wear.
Check the rubber boot monthly: Look for cracks or tears—if the boot is damaged, replace the rod end immediately (dirt will ruin the ball joint in weeks).
Listen for noises: If you hear clicking/squeaking when turning, the rod end is worn or dry—get it inspected (worn parts cause loose steering).
Lubricate (if equipped): If your rod end has a grease fitting, add lithium grease every 30k km—keeps the ball joint smooth and extends life.
