Suspensia X15TE0980 Outer Tie Rod End Steering Component

The Suspensia X15TE0980 is a precision-engineered outer tie rod end (steering tie rod end) designed to restore proper steering response and directional control. The tie rod transmits force from the steering center link or the rack gear to the steering knuckle, and it connects the inner tie rod (or steering rack) to the steering knuckle at the wheel, transmitting the force from your steering input and causing the wheel to turn.

It also connects to an adjusting sleeve that makes the tie rod length adjustable — a critical factor in setting your vehicle's toe alignment angle. When it wears out, both steering precision and tire wear are affected.

Key Features:

• Manufactured in IATF 16949 certified facilities using advanced robotic welding and assembly, each unit features a high-precision CNC-machined ball stud with minimal surface roughness for better handling and comfort, an elastomer-based dust cover for maximum flexibility and crack resistance, and a corrosion-resistant finish for long-term durability.
• Developed and verified for exact fitment in its specific application — not adapted from a generic part.
• CNC-machined ball stud and precise thread dimensions ensure correct installation and alignment adjustment range without modification.
• Assembled with grease at the factory; in most applications a sealed unit that does not require additional greasing during installation.
• Quality certified — IATF 16949, ISO 9001, and ISO 14001 certified manufacturing.

The outer tie rod end connects to the adjusting sleeve that sets your vehicle's toe angle. Any time a tie rod end is removed and replaced, alignment must be reset. Skipping the alignment will result in immediate tire wear and imprecise steering. Professional installation and a post-installation wheel alignment are strongly recommended.
