Front left-hand tie rod end for 1998-1999 Dodge vehicles. This steering component connects the steering rack to the wheel assembly, translating steering input into wheel movement while maintaining alignment and handling. Designed as a direct-fit replacement, it restores steering precision, reduces play, and helps prevent premature tire wear. Built for durability and consistent performance under road conditions, it offers a reliable solution for routine maintenance, collision repair, or full suspension restoration projects.

Instructions:

- Raise the front of the vehicle with a jack and secure on jack stands. Remove the front wheel to access the tie rod end.
- Locate the outer tie rod end at the steering knuckle and note its orientation. Mark the position or count the threads on the inner tie rod from the jam nut to preserve alignment.
