Firm up loose, wandering steering with the QuickSteer ES406R Front Outer Steering Tie Rod End. This outer tie rod end connects the steering linkage to the steering knuckle to transmit driver input to the wheel; if a worn tie rod end is behind your play, uneven tire wear, or vague on-center feel, this replaces it. It drops in as a front outer, direct-fit replacement for the listed applications, including the 1971-1972 Buick GS, GS 455, Skylark and Sportwagon, Chevrolet Chevelle, El Camino and Monte Carlo, GMC Sprint, Oldsmobile Cutlass, Cutlass Supreme, F85 and Vista Cruiser, Pontiac GTO and LeMans, plus the 1971 Oldsmobile 442 — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list and engine details.
Ball studs are heat treated to match or exceed OE requirements, and precision tolerances are designed for easy installation and steering alignment. Designed for OE fit and function; replacement helps restore vehicle handling.
