A steering tie rod end forms a pivoting joint in the steering linkage and carries steering motion toward the wheels. Signs this part may need replacing include loose or wandering steering, clunking when turning, excess play at the wheel and uneven tire wear. Diagnose the cause before replacing any parts. A wheel alignment is typically recommended after any tie rod end replacement.
