1. Core Identification
This 555 SE-3891 Tie Rod End is a direct OE replacement manufactured by EEM Auto Parts, precisely engineered to match Toyota specifications for their front suspension steering systems. Constructed with high-strength alloy steel and premium rubber components, it ensures precise steering control, stable handling, and long service life in both light and heavy-duty driving conditions. As a critical steering component, it connects the steering rack to the steering knuckle, enabling smooth and responsive vehicle turning.
2. Core Components & Construction
The 555 SE-3891 Tie Rod End features a robust one-piece forged steel housing for maximum durability and impact resistance. The internal ball joint uses a hardened steel ball and race with a special lubrication system to minimize friction and wear. The dust boot is made of high-quality rubber that resists heat, oil, and road debris, protecting the internal components from contamination and corrosion. The threaded shaft allows for precise alignment adjustments, ensuring proper wheel geometry and tire wear patterns.
3. Core Function
The tie rod end is essential for maintaining proper wheel alignment and steering responsiveness. It transmits steering input from the steering rack to the wheels while allowing for vertical suspension movement. A worn tie rod end can cause loose steering, uneven tire wear, drifting, or vibration—compromising vehicle safety and handling. This OE-spec replacement from EEM Auto Parts restores factory steering performance and ensures safe, predictable vehicle control.
