This part cross-references / interchanges with the following part numbers:
Is this an inner or outer tie rod end?
It is an inner tie rod end — the steering-linkage joint that transmits steering-gear motion out to the outer tie rod and knuckle on the listed applications.
What vehicles does the TA1838 fit?
It's a direct-fit replacement for applications including the 1989-1990 Dodge 2000 GTX, 1990-1994 Eagle Talon, and 1992-1996 Eagle Summit — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.
What are signs my inner tie rod end may need replacing?
Loose or wandering steering, excessive play at the wheel, uneven tire wear, and clunking when turning. Diagnose the cause first, since these signs can have other sources.
Do I need a wheel alignment after installing it?
Yes — replacing a tie rod end changes the toe setting, so have a wheel alignment performed afterward.
Should I replace both sides at the same time?
Tie rod ends on an axle tend to wear at similar rates, so inspecting and replacing the opposite side together is good practice, though it is not required.
