TOYOTA 45044-69125 Outer Tie Rod End

Genuine Toyota right outer tie rod end, part number 45044-69125. As a critical component of the vehicle's steering system, the tie rod end connects the steering gear to the steering knuckle. This connection converts the rotational motion of the steering wheel into the linear motion required to turn the wheels, ensuring precise vehicle handling.

Manufactured to Toyota's strict factory (OE) standards, this part guarantees a perfect fit, optimal performance, and long-term durability. It is produced from high-strength forged steel to withstand the significant forces encountered during steering and suspension travel. The integrated ball joint is sealed by a durable rubber dust boot to protect against contaminants such as dust, water, and road grime that would otherwise lead to premature wear.
