Keep steering inputs tight and the joint sealed against road grit with the Dorman - OE Solutions Steering Tie Rod End 544-079, a front left outer unit whose factory-sealed Dorman tie rod boot helps keep grease in and contaminants out. It drops in as a direct-fit replacement on the 2019 Smart EQ Fortwo (All) and the 2016-2018 Smart Fortwo (All), directly replacing the original equipment tie rod on those applications.

  • Steel, corrosion-resistant build: a factory-sealed, precision-forged housing with a painted finish helps resist future corrosion.
  • Pre-greased for install: the joint ships pre-greased and sealed — it is not greaseable and has no grease fitting.
  • Complete joint: includes an integrated ball joint, a polychloroprene dust boot, and a locking nut.
  • Straight, right-hand design: a tapered stud with a hex drive and clockwise (right-hand) threads; non-adjustable.

Backed by Dorman's US-based engineering and quality-control team, this standard-replacement tie rod end went through the brand's evaluation process for smooth, safe operation and is built to lower wear rate while providing overall strength. Country of origin: Turkey. The package contains one tie rod end and one nut.
