When a worn tie rod end is behind loose, wandering steering or uneven tire wear, this Dorman - OE Solutions Front Outer Steering Tie Rod End (542-871) drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the front outer steering position. It links the steering linkage to the steering knuckle, transmitting your steering input to the front wheel while allowing for normal suspension travel.
- Corrosion-resistant build: a factory-sealed, precision-forged housing helps resist future corrosion.
- Engineered for strength: designed to decrease wear rate and support overall strength.
- Tested for safe operation: put through an industry-leading evaluation process for smooth, safe operation.
- US-backed quality: supported by a team of professional engineers and quality control specialists in the United States.
It directly replaces the original equipment tie rod on a wide range of Chevrolet, GMC, Buick, Oldsmobile and Pontiac cars and trucks, including the 1978-1983 Chevrolet Malibu and 1995 Chevrolet Blazer — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list. Tie rod ends wear as a pair, so inspecting and replacing both sides together is recommended for even steering feel; this listing is for one unit.
