The tie rod end connects the steering linkage to the steering knuckle, transferring steering input to the wheel while allowing for suspension travel. If a worn tie rod end is behind loose steering, a wandering feel, uneven tire wear, or a clunk when turning, this tie rod end replaces it. Sold individually; inspect the opposite side and replace as needed for balanced steering.
