Keep your steering tight and responsive with the Dorman - OE Solutions Steering Tie Rod End 542-954 — a front outer tie rod end whose factory-sealed Dorman tie rod boot shields the joint from road grime and moisture. It installs as a direct-fit replacement on the listed applications, serving as a Chevrolet Tahoe tie rod end and also fitting the Cadillac Escalade, GMC Yukon, Chevrolet and GMC C/K 1500-3500 pickups and Suburbans, and Express/Savana 1500-3500 vans.

  • Durable construction: precision-forged, factory-sealed steel housing with an e-coated finish to resist corrosion.
  • Greaseable: ships pre-greased with an included grease (zerk) fitting so the joint can be re-lubricated in service, and a polychloroprene dust boot seals the assembly.
  • Built to last: adjustable, straight threaded design engineered to lower the wear rate and add overall strength.
  • Ready to install: includes the tie rod end, a locking nut, and the zerk fitting; mounting hardware included.

Sold individually; the listed applications use two per vehicle, so order that quantity and replace both sides as a matched pair for even steering response. Backed by Dorman's engineering and quality-control team in the United States. Country of origin: Thailand. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list of covered vehicles.
