When your International ProStar starts to wander, pull, or feel loose in the wheel, it's usually time to inspect the steering system. Heavy hauls and long days on the road take a toll on parts like tie rods, drag links, and king pins. Replacing worn components keeps your truck tracking straight, improves handling, and helps you stay in control mile after mile.
Essential Steering Components for the ProStar
Power Steering Pump — The hydraulic force that makes turning effortless. It pushes high-pressure fluid through the system so you can steer easily, even when loaded heavy.
Drag Link — The connecting rod that links your steering gear to the front wheels. It turns your steering input into precise wheel movement.
Cross Tube (Tie Rod Assembly) — The bar that keeps both front wheels aligned and turning together. it's key for stability, alignment, and even tire wear.
Tie Rod Ends — The flexible joints that allow your front wheels to pivot and move with the suspension. When they wear, you'll feel vibration, looseness, and steering play.
King Pin Kits — The main pivot points that let your wheels rotate smoothly under heavy loads. Strong king pins improve steering control and reduce front-end wobble.
Steering Stabilizers & Accessories — Add-on components that help absorb shock and reduce steering vibration, giving you smoother, more predictable handling on rough roads.

What kinds of components are included in this category?
This category covers steering system parts and accessories for the International ProStar, including items such as steering wheels, steering columns, tilt and telescopic mechanisms, steering shafts, horn buttons, covers, and related hardware. These parts are used to repair, replace, or upgrade the steering setup in your ProStar cab.
Will these parts fit my specific ProStar model year?
International made changes to steering components across different ProStar production years, so fitment can vary. Always check the part description for listed model year ranges and compare it to your truck's VIN or existing part number before ordering. If you are unsure, reach out to our team with your truck's year and we can help confirm compatibility.
Are these parts new, used, or reconditioned?
We carry a mix of new aftermarket parts and quality used take-off parts, and each listing specifies which type you are purchasing. Used parts are inspected for functionality and wear before being listed, while new parts are sourced to match OEM specifications as closely as possible.
What should I check before installing a replacement steering part?
Before installation, inspect the new or used part for any shipping damage, confirm that mounting points and connector types match your original component, and verify that any electrical connections, such as those for horn buttons or steering column switches, align correctly. Steering system work affects vehicle safety, so if you are not experienced with this type of repair, we recommend having the installation performed or checked by a qualified diesel mechanic.
Do steering components need to meet any safety or DOT requirements?
Steering system parts are safety-critical components and should be installed correctly to keep your truck compliant with DOT and FMCSA standards. Worn or improperly installed steering parts can result in a failed roadside inspection or out-of-service violation, so it is important to use parts that are in good working condition and properly matched to your ProStar's steering setup.
