Installation Notes

Verify thread direction, thread diameters, and taper dimensions before installation. This part uses a 16 mm end 1 thread diameter with 1.5 mm pitch and a 12 mm end 2 thread diameter with 1.25 mm pitch. Because it is a straight, non-adjustable tie rod end, final alignment should be checked after installation on the vehicle. Confirm front outer placement on the specific Lexus RX application before service. Dorman 544-310 is also referenced by part number 544-310 in catalog listings.
