What does a front outer tie rod end do?
It connects the steering linkage to the steering knuckle. It transfers steering input to the wheel and lets the joint pivot as the suspension moves.
Will this Dodge Journey tie rod end fit my 2015 Journey?
It is listed for the 2009-2020 Dodge Journey. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-specific details before ordering.
What hardware comes with the TXES3614?
A part-specific slotted castle nut and a snap cotter pin are provided. A 180-degree SAE grease fitting is also included for servicing.
How is the joint protected from dirt and moisture?
A patented sealing ring permanently locks the boot onto the ball joint housing, which helps keep contaminants out of the joint.
Do I need an alignment after replacing a tie rod end?
Yes. Replacing a tie rod end typically changes the toe setting, so a wheel alignment is recommended after installation.
