A tie rod end is a pivoting joint in the steering linkage that passes steering motion through to the wheels. It may need replacing if you notice extra play in the steering wheel, wandering, clunking when turning, or uneven tire wear. Other steering and suspension faults can cause the same symptoms, so diagnose the cause before replacing parts. Have the wheel alignment checked after installation.
