Dorman - OE Solutions Steering Tie Rod End P/N:544-544
Replace a worn 2003-2007 Honda Accord or 2004-2008 Acura TSX tie rod with the Dorman - OE Solutions Tie Rod End 544-163, a direct replacement for the front left outer tie rod end on both vehicles. It links the steering linkage to the steering knuckle so your steering input reaches the front wheel. Dorman has put it through an industry-leading evaluation process, intended to deliver smooth, safe operation.
A worn tie rod end may need replacing if you notice loose or wandering steering, extra play in the steering wheel, clunking when turning, or uneven tire wear. Other steering and suspension components can cause the same symptoms, so have the system inspected before replacing parts. A wheel alignment is recommended after installation. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for engine and trim details.
