Outer tie rod ends are a critical steering component connecting the inner tie rod to the steering knuckle. Over time, the ball-and-socket joint wears, leading to steering slop, vibration, and alignment issues. Replacing them in pairs ensures balanced steering response and consistent handling. Installation typically requires a tie rod end removal tool and a front-end alignment after replacement.
