Transfer every steering input cleanly to the front wheels with the Dorman - OE Solutions Steering Tie Rod End 543-645. This adjustable tie rod end directly replaces the original equipment tie rod as a direct-fit installation on the 2008-2015 Scion xB [All], where each vehicle uses two.
- Direct OE replacement: a trustworthy, direct replacement for the factory tie rod end on the listed application, backed by Dorman's professional engineers and quality-control specialists in the United States.
- Durably built: a factory-sealed, precision-forged steel housing with a silver powder-coated finish that resists corrosion.
- Pre-greased and sealed: ships pre-greased; no grease fitting is included, so it isn't set up for periodic re-greasing.
- Straight, adjustable design: threaded studs with a 15 mm End 1 thread and a 14 mm End 2 thread, both 1.5 mm pitch and clockwise (right-hand); 18 mm outside diameter.
- What's in the box: one tie rod end plus one mounting nut. A ball joint, dust boot, grease fitting, and bolts are not included.
A tie rod end connects the steering linkage to the steering knuckle and turns the front wheels with your input. Signs it may need replacing include loose or wandering steering, uneven tire wear, or clunking during turns; diagnose the cause first, and if a worn tie rod end is to blame, this replaces it.
