Keep your steering tight and precise with the Dorman - OE Solutions Steering Tie Rod End 541-232, a front inner tie rod end that directly replaces the original equipment on specific vehicle applications. It ties into the steering linkage to transmit input toward the wheel and set toe, and it's adjustable so alignment can be dialed in. This part fits a broad list of GM cars — including the 2000-2013 Chevrolet Impala, 1988-2004 Buick Regal, 1988-2008 Pontiac Grand Prix, 1994-1999 Cadillac DeVille, and 1997-2005 Buick Century — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list (each listed application uses two, so order 2 for a complete job).
- Durably designed: precision-forged, factory-sealed steel housing with an E-coated finish that resists corrosion.
