What does the RD in the part line mean?
RD stands for "rugged duty." Dorman engineers this line for severe-duty service such as off-road work, heavy hauling, towing, and emergency-vehicle use.
Does it come with a grease boot and hardware?
Where applicable, the joint is pre-loaded with premium grease in a specially designed grease boot with molded-in standoffs, and necessary hardware with a corrosion-resistant coating is included.
What are signs a tie rod end may need replacing?
Common signs include steering play or looseness, a wandering feel, uneven front tire wear, or clunking. Have the cause diagnosed, since these symptoms can come from other steering or suspension parts.
