What is a tie rod end called on an LS?

[theg1ft]

Title says it all. Need to replace these and haven't done it on the LS before. What should I buy and where can I buy it?

It all depends on if you want to retain the factory "passive rear steer" function.

Should search the forum, there is even a topic on it right this moment on the front page. Add to existing same topic threads rather then starting another.

Rear tie rod ends ?

There are upper and lower control arms, rear toe adjust linkages and rear sway bar end links.

Thank you. This is actually really good information for someone who isn't familiar with the design of the LS suspension. Might be worth leaving the post up and changing the title to something explicitly saying "where are the tie rod ends?"/"what are the tie rod ends called on an LS?"...

Rear tie-rods are called rear toe links.
Front tie-rod ends are called tie-rod ends.
(The rear "tie-rods" aren't just "ends," unlike in the front.)

Gift,

By the title of the thread... I assumed you were looking for the rears. If I gave you the wrong information,,, I apologize. I assumed... because the fronts ARE called tie rod ends.

No, I'm just a noob. Of course I appreciate all the help and input I can get! Thank you

edit: I think it was the dealership, not you, that led me astray..... They called them rear tie rod ends and links and I've been scratching my head this whole time until now because I couldn't find any "tie rod ends" for the rear.

Rears are called "toe links",,, so you weren't as wrong as you thought. Still depends on IF you want OEM "passive steer" ... or Jag "non passive steer". Google serch the differences... and determine what you prefer by preference.
