Keep your Jeep's steering tight and responsive with the Dorman - OE Solutions Steering Tie Rod End 542-999. Cataloged for the front left outer position, it drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the original equipment tie rod end on the 1991-2001 Jeep Cherokee, 1991-1992 Jeep Comanche, 1993-1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee, 1993 Jeep Grand Wagoneer, 1997-2006 Jeep TJ, and 1991-1995 and 1997-2006 Jeep Wrangler — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list and engine details.

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

The tie rod end links the steering linkage to the steering knuckle and lets the wheels pivot. Worn play, looseness, or a torn boot can cause loose steering, uneven tire wear, or clunking on turns; if a failed tie rod end is the cause, this replaces it. Have the alignment checked after installation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What vehicles does the Dorman 542-999 tie rod end fit?

It fits the 1991-2001 Jeep Cherokee, 1991-1992 Comanche, 1993-1998 Grand Cherokee, 1993 Grand Wagoneer, 1997-2006 TJ, and 1991-1995 and 1997-2006 Wrangler. Check the Buyer's Guide for engine details.

What position is this tie rod end for?

It is cataloged for the front left outer position. Confirm the correct application in the Buyer's Guide before ordering.

What does a tie rod end do?

It connects the steering linkage to the steering knuckle and lets the front wheels pivot when you turn the wheel, transferring steering input to the wheel.

What are signs my tie rod end may need replacing?

Loose or wandering steering, uneven tire wear, clunking or knocking on turns, or a torn boot can be signs. Diagnose the cause before replacing, as other parts can share these symptoms.

Do I need an alignment after installing it?

Yes. Replacing a tie rod end changes toe settings, so have the wheel alignment checked and adjusted after installation for even tire wear.
