Restore tight, responsive steering with the Beck/Arnley Steering Tie Rod End Kit 101-7431, an inner tie rod end kit that drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 1996-2002 Toyota 4Runner and 1995-2004 Toyota Tacoma. Beck/Arnley engineers parts to match OE form, fit and function for foreign nameplate applications, so this kit is built to service the inner tie rod connection between the steering rack and the outer tie rod.
Worn inner tie rod ends can show up as loose or wandering steering, a clunk or knock when turning, uneven tire wear, or free play in the steering. If a failed inner tie rod end is the cause, this kit replaces it. An alignment is recommended after installation.
