Specs At A Glance

Good To Know

Q: Do I need to replace both sides at once? A: It is good practice to inspect both outer tie rod ends together, since they usually wear at a similar rate. Replace any end showing play, a torn boot, or damaged threads.

Q: Is an alignment needed after installation? A: Yes, the toe setting should be checked and adjusted after replacing a tie rod end. Driving with incorrect toe can cause rapid tire wear and vague steering.

Slight variation in finish or dimensions may occur between production runs, and fit can depend on serial number, so confirm compatibility before ordering.
