Hitachi Astemo Steering Tie Rod P/N:TRE0006
Designed for safe, precise steering response, the Hitachi Astemo TRE0008 is a new, actual OE left outer tie rod end that serves as the Nissan Altima tie rod on 2007-2013 models and also fits the 2009-2014 Nissan Maxima. As the outer end of the steering tie rod, it connects the inner tie rod to the steering knuckle and carries your steering input to the wheel. It is a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications.
Hitachi designs its tie rod ends to meet the exact needs of each specific vehicle, with the strength and durability that steering components require. Signs a tie rod end may need replacing include loose or wandering steering, excess play in the steering wheel, clunking when turning, and uneven tire wear. Diagnose the cause before replacing parts, and plan on a wheel alignment after installation, since changing a tie rod end can affect toe settings.
Position: left outer. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine details.
