Detailed Description
This steering tie rod end is engineered as an OE-style replacement for front outer steering service on a wide range of GM and related vehicles. The Dorman 542-871 tie rod end is used on applications including 1982-1995 Chevrolet S10, 1991-1995 GMC Sonoma, 1978-1987 Chevrolet El Camino, and 1978-1987 Pontiac Grand Prix. It also cross-references MOOG Chassis Products ES2033RLT for the same application. With a steel housing, powder-coated finish, and application-specific dimensions, this part supports precise steering linkage restoration where wear, looseness, or alignment issues have developed.
What It Helps Fix

Installation Notes and Tips
Install on the specified front outer position only and verify vehicle application before service. After replacement, perform a professional wheel alignment to restore correct toe settings. Inspect adjacent steering and suspension parts, including inner tie rods, idler arm components, and ball joints, so the repair addresses the full source of steering wear.
