Detailed Description
This steering tie rod end is engineered for steering linkage service where precise movement and stable front-end control matter. The Dorman 543-170 uses a steel housing with a powder-coated finish and measures 81.5 in length, helping it match the original geometry on the listed Jeep CJ5, CJ7, and Wagoneer applications. It cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts 172286 and 182286 for the same application.
For Jeep CJ5 and Jeep CJ7 steering repair, this part supports OE-style replacement needs at the right outer, left outer, front left outer, and pitman arm positions shown in the fitment data. The Dorman 543-170 is a practical choice when restoring steering linkage feel on older Jeep vehicles that need a direct-fit tie rod end.

- Loose or imprecise steering response
- Front-end play caused by worn tie rod end joints
- Uneven steering linkage movement
