Outer tie rod end (right/left hand) designed for 1982–2006 Jaguar vehicles. This steering linkage component secures the steering rack to the steering knuckle, enabling precise wheel alignment and responsive steering. Built for durability and consistent performance, it helps eliminate play in the steering system, reduces vibration, and prevents premature tire wear. Ideal for restoration or routine maintenance to restore steering feel and safety to factory specifications.

- Raise the vehicle with a jack and support securely on jack stands; remove the wheel.
- Locate the outer tie rod end at the steering knuckle and clean the area to access fasteners.
- Loosen the jam nut on the inner tie rod and count the number of turns or measure the exposed length to preserve alignment.
- Remove the cotter pin (if present) and unbolt the castle nut securing the tie rod end to the steering knuckle.
- Use a tie rod end puller or pickle fork to separate the tie rod end from the steering knuckle without damaging the boot.
