What does a front outer tie rod end do?
It connects the steering linkage to the steering knuckle. Its ball stud pivots so steering input turns the front wheel while the suspension moves.

Yes. It is cataloged for the front outer position on the 2019-2025 Toyota RAV4, along with the other listed Toyota and Lexus applications.
What hardware is included?
A part-specific castle nut and cotter pin are provided to secure the tie rod end to the vehicle.
What signs suggest a tie rod end may need replacing?
Loose or wandering steering, clunking when turning, extra play at the wheel, or uneven tire wear can be signs. Diagnose the cause before replacing parts.
Do I need an alignment after installing it?
