Description

Transfer steering input from the rack out to the front wheels with the Dorman - OE Solutions 541-346 front inner tie rod end, a 2002-2006 Nissan Altima tie rod replacement that also fits the 2004-2008 Nissan Maxima and 2009-2010 Renault Safrane. It directly replaces the original equipment tie rod on these applications and has been through an industry-leading evaluation process intended to ensure smooth, safe operation.

Trustworthy replacement: this steering tie rod end assembly takes the place of the original equipment part on specific vehicle applications.
Durably designed: a factory-sealed, precision-forged housing resists future corrosion.
Reliably engineered: built to decrease the wear rate and support overall strength.
Trustworthy quality: backed by a team of professional engineers and quality control specialists in the United States.

As the inner link in the steering linkage, this part carries rack movement toward the wheels. Signs it may need replacing include loose or wandering steering, excess play in the steering wheel, a clunk when turning, and uneven tire wear. Other steering and suspension parts can cause the same symptoms, so diagnose the cause before replacing. A wheel alignment is recommended after installation. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for engine-specific fitment.
