Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle’s year, model, and front right outer steering position before installation. Because steering components affect alignment, a professional wheel alignment should be performed after replacement. Confirm the existing tie rod end matches the listed application and compare the part number 543-918 with the removed component before installation.
