Dorman - OE Solutions Steering Tie Rod End P/N:543-809
Replacing a worn 2013-2018 Ford Ranger tie rod? The Dorman - OE Solutions Tie Rod End 543-951 connects the steering linkage to the steering knuckle at the front left outer position, helping keep the wheel pointed where you steer. It is a direct replacement for the original equipment tie rod on the 2013-2018 and 2020-2023 Ford Ranger. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for engine details.
Dorman puts this steering tie rod end through an industry-leading evaluation process aimed at smooth, safe operation.
Signs that a tie rod end may need replacing include loose or wandering steering, extra play in the steering wheel, clunking when turning, and uneven front tire wear. The tie rod end sets the wheel's toe, so have the alignment checked after installation. Follow the vehicle service information for torque specifications.
