Right side steering parts
A tie rod assembly connects the steering linkage to the wheel, so its side and length matter. A right side part belongs on the right wheel, and mixing sides can throw off the steering geometry. Compare the new assembly with the old part, checking the end fittings, the thread direction and the overall length before installing it.
Confirm your steering configuration before ordering, since side and drive layout both affect which part you need. When replacing a tie rod, inspect the other linkage parts for play, because a worn partner can reduce the benefit of a new part. Have an alignment shop set the toe after the installation is complete.
- Match the side before ordering
- Compare thread direction and length
- Inspect partner linkage parts
