If play, wander or a clunk is creeping into your truck's steering and a worn tie rod end is the cause, the Dorman - OE Solutions Tie Rod End 541-286 replaces it. This front inner unit directly replaces the original equipment tie rod end on the 1993-1998 Toyota T100. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-specific details.
A tie rod end is a jointed link in the steering linkage that helps pass steering input to the wheel. Dorman put this steering tie rod end through its evaluation process, which the company calls industry-leading. The process is aimed at smooth, safe operation.
- Direct replacement: designed to take the place of the original equipment assembly on the specified applications.
- Durable design: the housing is factory-sealed and precision-forged, and it resists corrosion.
- Reliable engineering: built to lower the wear rate and support overall strength.
- Quality oversight: backed by a team of professional engineers and quality control specialists in the United States.
Signs a tie rod end may need replacing include looseness or play in the steering, wandering, a clunk when turning the wheel, and uneven tire wear. These symptoms can have other causes, so diagnose the steering and suspension before replacing parts. A wheel alignment is recommended after installation.
