A tie rod end is a pivoting joint in the steering linkage. It carries steering motion toward the wheel and lets the linkage move as the wheels turn and the suspension travels. Dorman runs this steering tie rod end through an industry-leading evaluation process for smooth, safe operation.
A tie rod end may need replacing if you notice loose or wandering steering, extra play in the steering wheel, a clunk when turning, or uneven tire wear. These symptoms can have other causes, so inspect the steering and suspension before replacing parts. A wheel alignment is typically recommended after installation.
