Dorman - OE Solutions Steering Tie Rod End P/N:544-544
Whether you need a 2011-2019 Dodge Charger tie rod or the same front outer link for a 2011-2014 Chrysler 300 or 2011-2018 Dodge Challenger, the Dorman - OE Solutions tie rod end 544-525 directly replaces the original equipment. It connects the steering linkage to the steering knuckle so the front wheel follows your steering input. Engine and trim details for each application are in the Buyer's Guide tab.
Signs a tie rod end may need replacing include loose or wandering steering, play in the steering wheel, clunking when turning, and uneven tire wear. If a worn front outer tie rod end is causing the problem, 544-525 replaces it. Diagnose the cause before replacing any part, and have the wheel alignment checked after installation.
