Help keep steering response accurate and predictable with the SKP Tie Rod End SES3488, a front inner steering linkage component that passes steering motion along toward the wheels. It fits many vehicles, among them the 1999-2006 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, 1999-2006 GMC Sierra 1500 and 1999-2004 Chevrolet Silverado 2500. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list and engine details.
Replacing a worn tie rod end typically costs less than replacing the full steering linkage. Signs this part 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. A wheel alignment is recommended after installation.
