Top Line Manufacturing RSTO42 Outer Tie Rod End

The Top Line Manufacturing RSTO42 outer tie rod end (also called a track rod end) is a steering linkage component. It works as the outer pivot point of the steering system. It connects the inner tie rod to the steering knuckle, so steering input from the wheel turns the front wheels.

Key Points:

• Outer tie rod end for the vehicle's steering linkage
• Acts as a ball-joint style pivot between the tie rod and the steering knuckle
• Replaces a worn outer tie rod end

A worn outer tie rod end can cause loose steering, uneven tire wear or clunking noises. Replacing it helps restore steering response. A wheel alignment is normally done after tie rod replacement.
