Dorman designed this tie rod end to directly replace the original equipment part on the listed applications. It has gone through Dorman's industry-leading evaluation process, which is aimed at smooth, safe operation.
The outer tie rod end pivots as the suspension travels and the wheels turn, carrying steering input from the linkage to the knuckle. Loose or wandering steering, extra play at the wheel, knocking from the front end, or uneven tire wear are signs this part may need replacing. If a worn tie rod end is the cause, this unit replaces it. A wheel alignment is recommended after installation.
