A-Premium Front Inner & Outer Tie Rod End Kit for GM 1999–2007 — OE Fit, Forged Steel

A-Premium Front Inner & Outer Tie Rod End Kit replaces worn steering joints to restore precise steering and reduce uneven tire wear.

If your Silverado, Sierra, Yukon, Tahoe, Suburban, Avalanche or Escalade is showing signs of wandering, uneven tire tread, clunking at the front end, or excessive steering play, worn tie rod ends are a common culprit. This A-Premium kit supplies both inner and outer front tie rod ends engineered to the original equipment fitment so you can return the vehicle’s steering geometry and handling to factory-like behavior.

Which vehicles and steering systems does this kit fit?

The kit is designed for a range of GM full-size trucks and SUVs from model years around 1999–2007 that use a power steering gearbox. It matches OE thread pitches so installation aligns with the factory steering rack and linkage.

• Chevrolet: Silverado 1500/2500, Suburban 1500/2500, Tahoe, Avalanche (specific years listed by model)
• GMC: Sierra 1500/2500, Yukon, Yukon XL (selected model years)
• Cadillac: Escalade, Escalade EXT, Escalade ESV (2002–2006 depending on model)
• Thread pitch: inner M18 x 1.5 (connects to steering rack); bottom M14 x 1.5

How are these tie rod ends built to withstand road and weather conditions?

A-Premium manufactures these components from forged alloy steel and applies high-temperature quench treatment to critical ball studs for enhanced strength and long-term wear resistance. Protective features keep contaminants out and road corrosives from degrading the parts.

• Forged alloy-steel construction for high tensile strength and resistance to bending
• Heat-treated ball stud for reduced wear and improved joint stability
• Thick rubber dust boots to seal out dirt, salt, and debris
• Corrosion-resistant finish to extend service life in wet or salted conditions

What hardware and accessories come with the kit, and is it ready to install?

The kit arrives as a complete front set including inner and outer tie rod ends with the necessary fasteners so you can perform a full front-end replacement without sourcing extra parts. Components are pre-greased and include service hardware to simplify installation.

• Package contains 2 inner and 2 outer front tie rod ends
• Includes castle nuts, cotter pins, and greased fittings; parts come pre-greased
• Meets OE specification tolerances for a direct fit on compatible models
• One-year limited warranty for peace of mind

Will installing this kit improve my vehicle’s steering feel and tire wear?

Replacing worn inner and outer tie rod ends typically reduces steering play, eliminates clunking, and restores responsive cornering—contributing to more even tire wear. Properly aligned new tie rod ends help maintain correct toe settings so tires contact the road as intended.

• Reduces steering wheel vibration and excessive free play
• Helps stop uneven tire wear caused by deteriorated steering joints
• Improves turning response and reduces front-end noise
• Supports safe handling by restoring stable steering geometry

Who is this for: This A-Premium front tie rod end kit is for owners and technicians working on late‑1990s to mid‑2000s GM full‑size trucks and SUVs that use a power steering gearbox and need a direct-fit steering joint replacement. It suits DIY mechanics who want a complete front set with hardware ready for installation, and shops that require OE-spec, corrosion-resistant parts to restore steering precision and extend tire life.
