Dorman - OE Solutions Steering Tie Rod End P/N:544-544
Help keep your steering tight and true with the Dorman - OE Solutions Steering Tie Rod End (P/N 544-296), a front right outer unit whose polychloroprene Dorman tie rod boot seals the joint against grit and moisture. It directly replaces the original equipment tie rod on many vehicles, among them the 2002-2010 Lexus SC430, 1998-2005 Lexus GS300 and 2001-2005 Lexus GS430; see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.
A tie rod end links the steering linkage to the steering knuckle, transmitting steering input to the front wheel while allowing the joint to pivot. Signs the original may need replacing include loose or wandering steering, uneven tire wear, and knocking or play felt through the wheel when turning.
