Keep your steering tight and responsive with the Dorman - OE Solutions Steering Tie Rod End 542-954, the front outer tie rod end that links the steering linkage to the knuckle and transmits your input to the wheel. It's a direct-fit replacement for a long list of GM trucks, vans and SUVs — including the 1999-2000 Cadillac Escalade, 1988-1999 Chevrolet C1500 and K1500, 1988-2000 Chevrolet C2500 and C3500, 1996-2002 Chevrolet Express 1500/2500/3500, 1995-2000 Chevrolet Tahoe, 1992-2000 GMC Yukon and the matching GMC C/K and Savana models. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list of 31 applications.
- Front outer position: installs at the front outer tie rod location in the steering linkage.
- Pivoting ball-and-socket joint: allows the steering and suspension to move while maintaining the connection to the wheel.
- Wear-part replacement: renews a joint that develops play over miles of service.
Worn tie rod ends can show up as loose or wandering steering, uneven or feathered tire wear, and a clunk or rattle from the front end when turning or over bumps. If a failed front outer tie rod end is the cause, this replaces it. Have your alignment checked after installation.

Should I get an alignment after installing this?
