As the outer link of the steering linkage, a tie rod end pivots as the wheels turn and move with the suspension, carrying steering motion through to the wheel. This steering tie rod end has gone through Dorman's industry-leading evaluation process, which is intended to support smooth, safe operation.
- Direct replacement: designed to take the place of the original equipment tie rod end assembly on specific vehicle applications.
- Durable housing: the housing is factory-sealed and precision-forged, and it resists corrosion.
- Strength-focused engineering: built to reduce the wear rate and support overall strength.
- Quality backing: supported by a team of professional engineers and quality-control specialists in the United States.
A tie rod end may need replacing if you notice loose or wandering steering, clunking when turning, or uneven tire wear. If a worn outer tie rod end is the cause, this part replaces it. Have the wheel alignment checked after installation.
