Restore the precision and safety of your vehicle's steering system with this premium Front Driver Side (Left Hand) Outer Tie Rod End. As the vital link between your steering rack and wheel knuckle, the outer tie rod end is responsible for translating steering wheel input into tire movement.

Mandatory Alignment: Any replacement of steering components alters your vehicle’s "Toe" settings. You must perform a professional 4-wheel alignment immediately after installation to ensure the steering wheel is centered and to prevent rapid tire scrubbing.
Counting Rotations: To maintain a "rough" alignment while driving to a service center, count the exact number of rotations required to unscrew the old tie rod end. Thread the new unit on the same number of turns to keep the wheels relatively straight.
Jam Nut Preparation: The jam nut on the inner tie rod is often exposed to the elements and can seize. Apply a high-quality penetrating oil to the threads and let it soak for several minutes before attempting to loosen the assembly.
Boot Inspection: While the outer tie rod is disconnected, inspect the inner tie rod and the steering rack bellows boot for tears. A torn rack boot can allow debris into the steering rack, leading to expensive seal failures.
