This steering tie rod end connects the steering linkage to the knuckle. It carries your steering input to the front wheel and pivots as the suspension moves. Dorman designed it to directly replace the original equipment tie rod on the listed applications. It has been through an industry-leading evaluation process intended to confirm smooth, safe operation.
A worn tie rod end can cause loose steering, wandering or uneven tire wear. Other steering parts can cause these signs too, so if the tie rod end is the cause, this part replaces it. Plan on a wheel alignment after installation. See the Buyer's Guide tab for complete fitment details.
