Dorman - OE Solutions Steering Tie Rod End P/N:541-329
Help keep a solid, precise connection in your front steering with the Dorman - OE Solutions Tie Rod End 541-349. This front inner tie rod replacement directly replaces the original equipment on the 1995-2004 Toyota Tacoma and 1996-2002 Toyota 4Runner. This steering tie rod end has been through an evaluation process that Dorman calls industry-leading, aimed at smooth, safe operation.
This tie rod end mounts in the front inner position. It forms part of the steering linkage that carries steering input out to the wheels. Signs a tie rod end may need replacing include loose or wandering steering, extra play in the steering wheel, clunking when turning and uneven tire wear. If a worn inner tie rod end is the cause, this part replaces it. Have the steering inspected to confirm the source, and plan for a wheel alignment after installation. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the complete application details.

What vehicles does the Dorman 541-349 fit?
It is listed for the 1995-2004 Toyota Tacoma and the 1996-2002 Toyota 4Runner. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full application details.
Is this an inner tie rod or an outer tie rod end?
The catalog lists it for the front inner position, so it is the inner tie rod end, not the outer one.
What does a tie rod end do?
It is part of the steering linkage. It carries steering input so the wheels turn when you turn the steering wheel, and its joint lets the linkage pivot as the suspension moves.
What are signs a tie rod end may need replacing?
Common signs include loose or wandering steering, play in the steering wheel, clunking when turning and uneven tire wear. Other parts can cause these symptoms, so have the steering inspected first.
Should I get an alignment after installing it?
Yes. Replacing a tie rod end can change the toe setting, so a wheel alignment is recommended afterward. Follow the vehicle service information for installation steps and torque specs.
