Tighten up worn, sloppy steering with the Dorman - OE Solutions Front Inner Steering Tie Rod End 543-336. This front inner tie rod end directly replaces the original equipment tie rod on specific applications, dropping in on the 1982-1996 Jaguar XJS, the 1982-1987 Jaguar Vanden Plas, the 1982-1987 Jaguar XJ12, and the Jaguar XJ6 (1982-1984 and 1986). See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level details.
The front inner tie rod end links the steering gear to the outer tie rod, transmitting steering input while pivoting as the wheels turn and the suspension moves. Loose or clunking steering, a wandering feel, or uneven tire wear are signs the tie rod end may need replacing; if a worn inner tie rod end is the cause, this part replaces it. Have the alignment checked after installation.
