Keep your steering tight and predictable with the Dorman - OE Solutions Steering Tie Rod End (MPN 542-862), the front right outer tie rod end that links the steering linkage to the knuckle and passes your steering input through to the wheel. It's a direct-fit replacement for the 1961-1966 Chevrolet K20 Pickup, 1963-1965 GMC Suburban, 1964-1966 Chevrolet K10 Pickup, 1966 GMC K1000 Pickup, 1966 GMC K15/K1500 Pickup, 1968-1976 Ford P-350, and 1975-1976 Ford P-400.
Worn tie rod ends often show up as loose or wandering steering, a clunk in the linkage, or uneven tire wear. If a failed outer tie rod end is the cause, this replaces it — have an alignment performed after installation.
