As the steering tie rod end adjusting sleeve, this part sets the working length of the tie rod assembly, so its condition affects how precisely toe can be adjusted. Signs it may need replacing include a sleeve that is bent, heavily corroded or seized so it can no longer be turned, an off-center steering wheel, or uneven tire wear. Other steering and suspension parts can cause similar signs, so inspect the linkage before replacing. Have a wheel alignment performed after installation.
