Description

Replace a worn tie rod on the 2013-2018 Ram 1500 or 2019-2024 Ram 1500 Classic with the Dorman OE Solutions Tie Rod End 543-721, a front inner unit that directly replaces the original equipment part on both trucks. As a key link in the steering linkage, it helps carry steering input to the front wheels and hold the wheels' toe setting. Dorman put this steering tie rod end through an industry-leading evaluation process intended to deliver smooth, safe operation.

Direct replacement: takes the place of the original equipment assembly on the listed applications.
Durable design: a factory-sealed, precision-forged housing helps resist corrosion.
Reliable engineering: built to reduce the wear rate and support overall strength.
Quality backing: supported by a team of professional engineers and quality control specialists in the United States.

Signs a tie rod end may need replacing include play in the steering wheel, wandering at highway speed, a clunk when turning and uneven tire wear. These symptoms can have other causes, so inspect the front end before replacing parts, and plan on a wheel alignment after installation. Full application details are in the "Vehicles it fits" section.
