Description

Carquest Premium 310-497173 direct-replacement front right (passenger side) outer steering tie rod end engineered for 2011–2015 Dodge Durango and Jeep Grand Cherokee sport utility vehicles. Designed to link the steering rack linkage to the front passenger-side steering knuckle, restoring crisp steering response, maintaining correct front-wheel alignment, and eliminating steering play, highway drift, and uneven tire shoulder wear.

Manufactured with a high-strength forged steel housing featuring a curved/bent design engineered to match factory suspension geometry and clearance tolerances. Protected by an advanced corrosion-resistant black coating designed to withstand moisture, road grit, and winter road salt. Built with an OE-matched ball stud and synthetic bearing assembly for low-friction articulation, consistent steering effort, and long service life. Features a pre-greased, sealed, maintenance-free design equipped with a durable blue neoprene dust boot that keeps lubricants sealed in while blocking dirt and moisture. Includes installation hardware consisting of a prevailing-torque lock nut / castle nut and a threaded hex jam nut for a secure bolt-on replacement.
