Dorman - OE Solutions Steering Tie Rod End P/N:544-544
Tighten up loose, wandering steering with the Dorman - OE Solutions Steering Tie Rod End 544-614 (also 544614). This is the front right outer tie rod end, and it drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 2003-2007 Cadillac CTS. The tie rod end links the steering linkage to the steering knuckle, transferring your steering input to the wheel while allowing the joint to pivot and articulate through suspension travel.
Worn tie rod ends can show up as loose or wandering steering, uneven or accelerated tire wear, a clunk or looseness felt through the wheel, and play in the joint. If a failed tie rod end is the cause, this unit replaces it; have an alignment performed after installation. Consult the vehicle service information for the correct fasteners and whether they may be reused.
