Description

Help keep steering response tight and predictable with the Dorman - OE Solutions tie rod end, part number 543-142, a front outer tie rod end that directly replaces the original equipment part. It fits many vehicles, among them the 1970-1978 Dodge Charger, 1987-1990 Dodge Dakota and 1977-1981 Chrysler Town & Country. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list and engine details.

Direct replacement: Takes the place of the original equipment tie rod end on specific vehicle applications. It has gone through an industry-leading evaluation process aimed at smooth, safe operation.
Sealed, forged housing: The precision-forged housing is factory-sealed and resists corrosion.
Engineered for strength: Built to reduce the rate of wear and to provide overall strength.
Quality oversight: Backed by a team of professional engineers and quality-control specialists in the United States.

The tie rod end is the pivoting joint at the outer end of the tie rod. It passes steering input to the steering knuckle so the wheel turns with the steering wheel. Signs one may need replacing include loose or wandering steering, clunking or knocking when turning, and uneven tire wear. Because these symptoms can have other causes, inspect the steering and suspension before replacing parts. Have the wheel alignment checked after installation.
