Detailed Description

This steering tie rod end is built to replace the original equipment part on select Hyundai Accent and Kia Rio models, including 2015-2017 Hyundai Accent and 2013-2017 Kia Rio front right outer applications. Dorman 544-286 is evaluated for smooth, safe operation and is shaped to match the OE-style steering connection used in these vehicles.

This part cross-references MOOG Chassis Products ES801131 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Loose or imprecise steering feel at the front right outer linkage
• Clunking or play caused by a worn tie rod end
• Uneven steering response during lane changes or turns
• Front-end alignment issues related to steering linkage wear
• Replacement needs after inspection reveals joint wear or corrosion

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm the vehicle’s year, make, model, and front right outer position before installation. The 2012 Kia Rio application uses an M12 stud, so verify the stud size against the removed part before ordering or installing. After replacement, a professional wheel alignment is recommended to restore steering geometry and tire wear characteristics.

Dorman manufactures this tie rod end as a direct OE replacement for the listed applications and subjects it to an industry-focused evaluation process to support dependable steering operation.
