Detailed Description

This Dorman steering tie rod end, part number 543-816, is engineered as an OE-style replacement for the front inner steering linkage on the listed Chevrolet Colorado, GMC Canyon, and Isuzu models. It uses a straight design, steel construction, and a powder-coated finish for a durable service replacement. The assembly is pre-greased and does not use a grease fitting or dust boot, which keeps the design simple for standard replacement service. This part cross-references MOOG Chassis Products EV800556 for the same application.

What It Helps Fix

• Loose or imprecise steering feel at the front inner linkage
• Clunking or play from a worn tie rod end
• Uneven tire wear caused by steering linkage wear
• Steering pull or wandering related to worn front suspension components
• Service replacement needs after inspection of the inner tie rod assembly

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle VIN before ordering, since fitment is split by VIN breakpoints for 2006 and 2007 models. This part is for front inner placement only and is not adjustable. Confirm thread direction, mounting points, and steering linkage condition during installation, and perform a wheel alignment after replacement.

Quality Assurance

Dorman states that this tie rod end has undergone an industry-leading evaluation process to support smooth, safe operation. The part is built as a standard replacement component for the specified applications.
