Dorman - OE Solutions Steering Tie Rod End P/N:543-335
Help keep steering response tight and predictable with the Dorman - OE Solutions Tie Rod End 543-118, a front outer replacement for the 2002-2006 Honda CR-V tie rod, the 2001-2005 Honda Civic and the 2001-2005 Acura EL. It directly replaces the original equipment tie rod end on these applications, and it has been through an industry-leading evaluation process designed for smooth, safe operation.
The outer tie rod end is the pivoting joint that connects the tie rod to the steering knuckle. It carries your steering input out to the front wheel. As the joint wears, signs that it may need replacing include loose or wandering steering, play in the steering wheel, clunking from the front end, and uneven tire wear.
A wheel alignment is recommended after installing any tie rod end. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine and trim details.
