Audi Q4 e-tron Front Tie Rod
This Febi front tie rod fits the Audi Q4 e-tron and also the CUPRA Tavascan, Ford Capri, Ford Explorer EV, Skoda Elroq, Skoda Enyaq iV, Volkswagen ID.4, ID.5 and ID.7. It fits the front axle, left or right.
The tie rod carries the steering rack movement out to the knuckle. Wear shows up as play at the wheel, a knocking noise when turning, or an alignment that will not hold. A new rod restores a tight steering link so the car tracks straight again.
The Febi part number is 188268. It is a tie rod with tie rod end and additional parts. Length is 428 mm, with outside threads M12 x 1.5 and M16 x 1.5. It replaces Audi, CUPRA, Skoda and VW number 1EA 423 811 B S2, and Ford numbers 2 721 055 S2 and VWR2KA-3290-AA S2.

Fitting Advice
Count the turns when removing the old rod so the toe setting stays close, then tighten to the maker’s torque and check the wheel alignment. After replacement, optical driver assistance systems (cameras and radar) may need recalibrating. Follow the vehicle maker’s instructions. If you are not confident working on steering, ask a qualified technician to fit the part.
