Detailed Description

Suspensia X07TE0842 is engineered as an OE-style replacement for the front outer steering position on a wide range of 1973-1979 GM vehicles, including Buick Century, Buick Regal, Chevrolet El Camino, Chevrolet Monte Carlo, Oldsmobile Cutlass, Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme, Pontiac Grand Prix, and Pontiac LeMans. It also covers applications such as Pontiac Firebird, Pontiac Phoenix, Buick Skylark, Cadillac Seville, and Oldsmobile Omega where the front outer tie rod end is specified. The part number X07TE0842 is built in an automated OE manufacturing environment and uses materials and construction intended to match factory fit and steering geometry.

Suspensia focuses on chassis parts made to OE or better quality standards, and this tie rod end reflects that approach with a steel body, e-coated finish, pre-greased internals, and a greaseable design for routine chassis service. If you are replacing worn steering components on a classic GM platform, X07TE0842 provides a direct-fit solution for restoring steering response and front-end alignment integrity.

What It Helps Address

• Loose or wandering steering feel
• Front-end play caused by worn tie rod ends
• Uneven tire wear related to steering linkage wear
• Clunking or knocking from the front steering linkage
• Alignment instability after suspension service

Installation Notes and Tips

Install X07TE0842 at the front outer steering position only when the vehicle application matches the listed fitment. After replacement, have the front end inspected and aligned to factory specifications. Verify thread engagement, torque the castle nut to specification, and secure it with the included cotter pin. Inspect the mating steering components and replace worn parts as needed to avoid premature wear.

That manufacturing background supports consistent fitment and repeatable part quality for applications such as Buick Regal, Pontiac Grand Prix, and Chevrolet Monte Carlo. Part number X07TE0842 is built to meet the demands of classic steering service with OE-style construction and materials.
