Keep your steering crisp and connected with the Dorman - OE Solutions Steering Tie Rod End (544-389), a front outer tie rod end that directly replaces the original equipment unit on specific applications. A factory-sealed, precision-forged housing — protected by a Dorman tie rod boot — resists future corrosion, and Dorman puts the part through an industry-leading evaluation process for smooth, safe operation. It installs as a direct-fit tie rod end on the 1986-1994 Nissan D21 and the 1994-2008 Nissan Pickup.

  • Direct-fit replacement: swaps in for the original equipment tie rod on the listed applications.
  • Durably designed: factory-sealed, precision-forged housing resists future corrosion.
  • Reliably engineered: built to decrease the wear rate and add overall strength.
  • Quality-backed: supported by a team of professional engineers and quality-control specialists in the United States.

The tie rod end connects the steering linkage to the steering knuckle and lets the wheel pivot as you steer. Worn signs may include loose or wandering steering, uneven tire wear, or a clunk from the front end — if a failed tie rod end is the cause, this replaces it. Sold individually; inspect both sides and replace as directed by the service procedure.
