Searching for a Dorman tie rod boot or a fix for a worn front steering joint? The Dorman - OE Solutions Steering Tie Rod End 543-498 is a direct-fit front inner replacement for the 2005-2009 Hyundai Tucson and the 2005-2010 Kia Sportage. It links the steering gear to the steering knuckle, transmitting your input to turn the wheels while helping hold the front toe setting.
Corrosion-resistant build: factory-sealed, precision-forged steel housing with a powder-coated finish resists future corrosion.
Direct-fit replacement: directly replaces the original equipment tie rod on the listed applications; both ends are male-threaded.
Reliably engineered: built to decrease the wear rate and provide overall strength, after an industry-leading evaluation for smooth, safe operation.
Mounting nut included: ships with one nut; it has no grease fitting, so it is factory-sealed and non-greasable.
Loose or wandering steering, a clunk or knock when turning, play in the wheel, or uneven tire wear can be signs this tie rod end may need replacing — diagnose the cause first. Each listed application uses two; sold individually, so order two to replace both sides together for even, balanced steering. Country of origin: China.
