As a steering tie rod end, this assembly is part of the linkage that carries steering input out to the wheels. Dorman put it through its industry-leading evaluation process, which is aimed at smooth, safe operation.
Possible signs that a tie rod end needs replacing include excess play or looseness in the steering, wandering, clunking when turning, and uneven tire wear. Other steering and suspension parts can cause these symptoms too, so inspect the linkage before you replace anything. A wheel alignment is recommended after installation.
