A tie rod end is a pivoting joint in the steering linkage. It carries steering motion toward the wheels and moves with the suspension as it travels. This unit is cataloged for the front inner position. Signs that a steering tie rod end may need replacing include loose or wandering steering, free play in the steering wheel, clunking when turning, and uneven tire wear. Diagnose the cause first, because other steering and suspension parts can produce the same symptoms. A wheel alignment is recommended after installation.
