A tie rod end connects the steering linkage to the steering knuckle, transmitting your steering input to the front wheel while allowing suspension travel. Signs it may need replacing include play or looseness in the steering, a clunk or knock when turning, and uneven front tire wear. If a worn outer tie rod end is the cause of these symptoms, this assembly replaces it.
