Detailed Description
This steering tie rod end is engineered for vehicles that need precise steering linkage restoration, including Jeep CJ5 and Jeep CJ7 applications as well as select Buick, Oldsmobile, and Pontiac models. Dorman 542-859 is a practical OE replacement for front outer, right outer, left outer, and pitman arm positions depending on the vehicle application. The steel housing and powder-coated black finish support long-term service in steering systems where durability and consistent alignment matter. This part number, 542-859, is also a direct interchange for several aftermarket references, making it easier to match the correct steering tie rod end for the same application.
Compatible With Jeep CJ5 and Jeep CJ7 steering linkage applications, plus select Buick Skylark, Oldsmobile Cutlass, Oldsmobile 88, Pontiac Bonneville, Pontiac Catalina, and Pontiac Starfire front outer positions. For buyers searching for a Jeep CJ5 tie rod end, Jeep CJ7 pitman arm tie rod end, or a classic GM front outer steering tie rod end, 542-859 is a fitment-specific replacement to verify against the vehicle listing.
What It Helps Solve
- Loose or imprecise steering feel from a worn tie rod end
- Clunking or play in the steering linkage
- Uneven tire wear caused by steering component wear
- Restoration needs for older Jeep CJ5 and CJ7 steering systems
