Dorman - OE Solutions Steering Tie Rod End P/N:543-976
Help keep steering response tight and predictable with the Dorman - OE Solutions Tie Rod End 543-461, a front inner tie rod that directly replaces the original equipment on the 2003-2007 Honda Accord and the 2005-2012 Acura RL. The tie rod end connects the steering gear to the wheel side of the linkage, so your steering input reaches the front wheels.
Signs a front inner tie rod may need replacing include loose or wandering steering, extra play at the steering wheel, clunking when turning, and uneven tire wear. Other steering and suspension parts can cause similar symptoms, so diagnose the cause first. If a worn inner tie rod is behind the problem, this part replaces it. Have a wheel alignment done after installation. See the Buyer's Guide tab for full fitment details.
