Play or looseness in the steering, wandering, a clunk when turning, or uneven front tire wear can be signs a tie rod end is worn.

Have the underlying cause diagnosed first, and inspect both sides — many vehicles use one inner tie rod end per side, so this listing is for one unit; order the quantity your repair requires.
