What Is a Tie Rod End?

The outer tie rod end is a critical steering system component that connects the steering rack to the wheel assembly via a ball-and-socket joint. It transmits steering input from the rack to the front wheels, enabling precise directional control. A worn or failed outer tie rod end can cause steering looseness, clunking noises, uneven tire wear, and an inability to maintain proper wheel alignment.

Key Features:

• Direct OEM Replacement — Engineered to match the original factory part for fit, form, and function
• OEM Cross-Reference: Replaces GM part number 88957172
