Dorman - OE Solutions Steering Tie Rod End P/N:543-336
Keep your Dodge Ram tracking straight and steering tight with the Dorman - OE Solutions Steering Tie Rod End (P/N: 541-336). This front inner tie rod end drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 2002-2005 Dodge Ram 1500 — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment.
The tie rod end connects the steering linkage to the steering knuckle, transferring steering input to the front wheels; a worn unit is a common source of loose steering, wandering, uneven tire wear, and front-end clunks or play. If a failed inner tie rod end is the cause of those symptoms, this part replaces it.
Front inner tie rod ends wear as a pair — inspect and, where advised by the service procedure, replace both sides for balanced steering. Sold individually.
