Keep your steering linkage connected to the wheel with the Dorman - OE Solutions Tie Rod End 544-388. This front outer joint is designed to directly replace the original equipment tie rod end. It fits many vehicles, among them the 1998-2004 Nissan Frontier, 1996-2004 Nissan Pathfinder and 2009-2015 Nissan NP300. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list and engine details.
Dorman puts this steering tie rod end through its evaluation process, which it describes as industry-leading, to check for smooth, safe operation. It links the steering linkage to the steering knuckle, carrying your steering input to the wheel while the suspension moves.
- Direct replacement: the assembly replaces the original equipment part on specific vehicle applications.
- Durable design: a factory-sealed, precision-forged housing resists future corrosion.
- Reliable engineering: built to help decrease wear rate and support overall strength.
- Quality support: backed by a team of professional engineers and quality control specialists in the United States.
Signs a tie rod end may need replacing include loose or wandering steering, clunking when turning, front-end shimmy and uneven tire wear. Diagnose the cause first, because other steering and suspension parts can produce similar symptoms. A wheel alignment is recommended after installation.
