Dorman - OE Solutions Steering Tie Rod End P/N:543-976
Replace a worn Jeep tie rod end with the Dorman - OE Solutions Tie Rod End 543-090, built to directly replace the original equipment tie rod on the 1999-2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee. It is cataloged for the front right outer position (steering arm to steering arm). It has also been through an industry-leading evaluation process aimed at smooth, safe operation.
A tie rod end is a pivoting joint in the steering linkage. It passes steering input toward the wheel while allowing the suspension to move.
Signs a tie rod end may need replacing include play or looseness in the steering, wandering, clunking when turning, and uneven tire wear. Other steering and suspension parts can cause the same symptoms, so diagnose the cause before replacing. Have the wheel alignment checked after installation. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for complete application details.
