Outer tie rod end (right/left hand) designed for 1965–1989 Chrysler, Dodge, and Plymouth vehicles. This replacement part secures the steering linkage to the steering knuckle and maintains precise front-end alignment while allowing smooth articulation. The unit accepts a 11/16"-18 right-hand grease fitting and includes a bottom cap to keep contaminants out. Built for durability and reliable steering response, it’s ideal for restoration projects or maintenance to restore factory handling and reduce play in the steering system. Easy-to-grease design extends service life and simplifies periodic lubrication.

Instructions:
- Park on a level surface, chock rear wheels, loosen front wheel lug nuts slightly.
- Raise the vehicle with a floor jack and support securely on jack stands; remove the front wheel.
- Locate the outer tie rod end at the steering knuckle; mark the position of the castle nut and the jam/adjuster nut on the inner tie rod for reference.
- Remove the cotter pin (if present) and loosen/remove the castle nut securing the tie rod end to the steering knuckle.
- Use a tie rod puller or pickle fork to separate the tie rod end from the steering knuckle taper. Avoid hammer strikes on suspension components if possible.
- Loosen the jam nut on the inner tie rod, then unthread the outer tie rod end while counting turns or noting the marked position to preserve alignment.
- Install the replacement outer tie rod end by threading it onto the inner tie rod to the marked position or the same number of turns as removed. Tighten the jam nut against the new tie rod end.
- Insert the ball stud into the steering knuckle taper, tighten the castle nut to the manufacturer's torque specification, and secure with a new cotter pin if applicable.
- Attach a grease fitting (if not pre-installed), use a grease gun to lubricate via the 11/16"-18 port until fresh grease appears at the seal, then install the protective bottom cap.
- Reinstall the wheel, lower the vehicle, torque the wheel lug nuts, and perform a steering alignment check. Professional alignment is recommended after replacing tie rod ends.
