This steering tie rod end has been through an industry-leading evaluation process aimed at smooth, safe operation. It connects the steering linkage to the steering arm or knuckle and carries your steering input through a pivoting joint that moves with the suspension. It is cataloged for the front outer position, and some applications list it as front left outer.
Signs a tie rod end may need replacing include loose or wandering steering, extra play at the steering wheel, clunking when turning and uneven tire wear. These signs can have other causes, so inspect the steering and suspension first. A wheel alignment is generally recommended after installation.
