Tie your steering to the road with the Dorman - OE Solutions Steering Tie Rod End 544-297 — the front left outer joint that links the steering system to the wheel on the 2001-2005 Lexus IS300. It drops in as a direct-fit replacement for that listed application, connecting the steering linkage to the steering knuckle so driver input at the wheel is transmitted to the front wheel while allowing normal suspension travel and toe adjustment.
Position: Front left outer tie rod end for the listed application.
Function: Transfers steering motion from the linkage to the steering knuckle through a pivoting ball-and-socket joint, keeping the wheel responsive as the suspension moves.
Serviceable wear part: Sold individually; order the additional side if you're servicing both.
Signs this part may need replacing include loose or wandering steering, a clunk or knock when turning or going over bumps, and uneven front-tire wear. These symptoms can have other causes, so diagnose the joint before replacing. If a worn outer tie rod end is the cause, this replaces it. A wheel alignment is recommended after installation to reset toe.
It is a direct-fit replacement for the 2001-2005 Lexus IS300. Check the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm it matches your vehicle.
Where is this tie rod end located?
It is the front left outer tie rod end, connecting the steering linkage to the front-left steering knuckle for the listed application.
What are the signs of a worn tie rod end?
Loose or wandering steering, a clunk or knock when turning or over bumps, and uneven front-tire wear. Diagnose the joint before replacing, as these can have other causes.
Is this sold as a pair?
It is sold individually. If you are servicing both sides, order the matching opposite-side unit separately.
Do I need an alignment after installing it?
Yes. Replacing a tie rod end changes toe, so a professional wheel alignment is recommended after installation to protect tire wear and steering feel.
