Caliso TO96042 Steering Tie Rod End Replacement

The Caliso TO96042 is a replacement steering tie rod end engineered to restore proper steering function and front-end alignment to your vehicle. Tie rod ends are a critical component of the steering linkage, connecting the steering rack or gear box to the steering knuckle at each front wheel.

Key Features:

• Direct OE-style replacement for precise fit and function
• Ball-and-socket construction allows smooth articulation through suspension travel
• Threaded shaft enables front-end toe adjustment during wheel alignment
• Protective grease boot shields the ball joint from dirt, moisture, and debris
• Built to meet or exceed original equipment specifications

Common symptoms of a worn or failed tie rod end include loose or wandering steering, uneven or accelerated tire wear, a clunking or rattling noise over bumps, and a front-end alignment that will not hold. Replacing a worn tie rod end and performing a proper wheel alignment afterwards helps restore safe, predictable steering response.

The Caliso TO96042 tie rod end is designed for straightforward installation using standard hand tools. Always torque the castle nut or self-locking nut to the manufacturer's specified value and install a new cotter pin where applicable. A professional wheel alignment is recommended after installation.
