A tie rod end connects the steering linkage to the steering knuckle and passes steering input through so the wheels turn as intended. Signs a tie rod end may need replacing include play or looseness in the steering, wandering, uneven tire wear, or a clunk when turning. The MS50609 design undergoes extensive in-house and third-party durability testing. A wheel alignment is recommended after replacing any tie rod end.
