Keep steering input traveling cleanly from the wheel to the road with the SKP Tie Rod End, part number SES3459, a front outer linkage component that transfers motion from the inner tie rod to the wheel. It fits many vehicles, among them the 2000-2013 Chevrolet Impala, 2005-2009 Buick LaCrosse and 2014-2016 Chevrolet Impala Limited. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.
A worn steering tie rod end can let play creep into the linkage. Signs it may need replacing include loose or wandering steering, a knocking noise when turning and uneven tire wear. Replacing only the worn tie rod end costs less than replacing the entire steering linkage. Have the wheel alignment checked after installation.

What does a front outer tie rod end do?
It links the inner tie rod to the steering knuckle. It transfers steering-wheel movement to the wheel so the vehicle turns as you steer.
Does this work as a 2008 Chevy Impala tie rod replacement?
Yes. The 2000-2013 Chevrolet Impala is a listed application for SKP SES3459, and the Buyer's Guide tab shows every other vehicle it fits.
What are the signs a tie rod end may need replacing?
Common signs include loose or wandering steering, extra play in the steering wheel, a knocking noise when turning and uneven tire wear. Diagnose the cause before replacing, since other parts can cause similar symptoms.
Do I need an alignment after installing it?
Replacing a tie rod end affects the wheel's toe setting, so a wheel alignment is recommended after installation. Follow the vehicle service information for the torque values and procedure.
How is the SKP SES3459 built?
SKP says it is made from high-quality materials that meet or exceed OE specifications. It is also designed to match the original equipment for a hassle-free installation.
