Signs a tie rod end may need replacing include excess play or looseness in the steering, wandering, a knocking noise when turning, and uneven tire wear. If a worn tie rod end is the cause, this part replaces it. Have the wheel alignment checked after installation. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-specific fitment.
