Tighten up the link between your steering linkage and the front wheel with the Dorman - OE Solutions Front Outer Steering Tie Rod End 542-951. It drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 1986-1991 Mazda RX-7, transferring steering input from the linkage to the steering knuckle so the wheel turns with the driver. A tie rod end that has worn out can show up as play or looseness in the steering, a wandering feel, uneven front tire wear, or a clunk over the front end — if a worn tie rod end is the cause, this replaces it.

  • Trustworthy replacement: directly replaces the original equipment tie rod on the listed applications, and has gone through an industry-leading evaluation process for smooth, safe operation.
  • Durably designed: factory-sealed with a precision-forged housing that resists corrosion.
  • Reliably engineered: built to slow the wear rate and add overall strength.
  • Quality-backed: supported by a team of professional engineers and quality control specialists in the United States.

Position: front outer. Sold individually — this listing is for one tie rod end; for even steering feel, inspect and service the opposite side as directed by the service procedure.
