Front outer tie rod end designed for 1970–1975 Chevrolet and Pontiac passenger cars and light trucks. This direct-replacement outer tie rod end restores proper steering geometry and improves handling by securely connecting the steering linkage to the wheel knuckle. Built for durability and precise fit, it reduces play, vibration, and uneven tire wear. Ideal for restoration projects or routine steering system maintenance, it offers reliable performance and straightforward installation to get older vehicles back on the road with tight, responsive steering.

Instructions:
- Park vehicle on a level surface, engage parking brake, and loosen front wheel lug nuts slightly.
