A tie rod end may need replacing if you notice loose or wandering steering, a clunk when turning, extra play in the steering wheel or uneven tire wear. Diagnose the cause first, because other steering and suspension parts can produce the same symptoms. If you're planning a 1997-2006 Jeep Wrangler tie rod replacement, a wheel alignment is generally recommended after installation.
