Dorman - OE Solutions Steering Tie Rod End P/N:544-544
Keep the steering linkage firmly connected to the front wheel with the Dorman - OE Solutions tie rod end, part number 544-417, a direct replacement for the original equipment at the front left outer position.

A tie rod end passes steering input from the linkage to the steering knuckle so the wheel turns as the steering wheel does. As one wears, you may notice loose or wandering steering, extra play, a clunk when turning, or uneven tire wear. These are signs the part may need replacing.
A wheel alignment is generally recommended after installation. Follow the vehicle service information for torque values and procedures.
