Inner tie rod end (right/left hand) designed for 1981–1985 Chrysler, Dodge, and Plymouth passenger cars and light trucks. This critical steering component connects the steering rack to the outer tie rod, maintaining alignment and precise steering control. Built to replace worn or damaged originals, it restores steering responsiveness, reduces play, and helps prevent premature tire wear. Engineered for durability and easy installation, it’s ideal for restoration projects and routine suspension maintenance.

- Fits 1981–1985 Chrysler / Dodge / Plymouth models (inner tie rod end, right and left hand applications).
- High-strength forged steel construction for long-lasting durability.
- Restores precise steering linkage alignment and reduces steering play.
- Sealed ball joint design to protect against dirt and moisture, extending service life.
