A tie rod end may need replacing if you notice loose or wandering steering, extra play at the steering wheel, a clunk when turning, or uneven tire wear. These signs can have other causes, so diagnose the problem first. If a worn outer tie rod end is the cause, this unit replaces it. Have the alignment checked after installation.
