A tie rod end is the pivoting joint that links the steering linkage to the steering knuckle, so each turn of the steering wheel reaches the tire. This Dorman unit directly replaces the original equipment tie rod on specific vehicle applications. It has also been through an industry-leading evaluation process intended to deliver smooth, safe operation.
A tie rod end may need replacing if you notice loose or wandering steering, a clunk when turning, or uneven tire wear. If a worn outer tie rod end is the cause, this unit replaces it. Having the wheel alignment checked after installation is recommended.

What does a tie rod end do?
It's the pivoting joint that connects the steering linkage to the steering knuckle. It passes your steering input to the wheel so the wheel turns as you steer.
What are signs a tie rod end may need replacing?
Common signs include loose or wandering steering, a clunk or knock when turning, and uneven tire wear. Diagnose the cause first, since other steering or suspension parts can produce the same symptoms.
Do I need an alignment after installing it?
Replacing a tie rod end can change the toe setting, so we recommend having the wheel alignment checked and set after installation.
