Tighten up loose, wandering steering with the Beck/Arnley Steering Tie Rod End Kit 101-7439, an inner tie rod end with boot kit that installs as a direct replacement on the 1996-2000 Honda Civic — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the engine-level fitment for your vehicle. The inner tie rod end connects the steering rack to the outer tie rod end, transferring the rack's motion to the wheel while allowing the joint to articulate through steering and suspension travel.
Worn inner tie rod ends can show up as play in the steering wheel, wandering, clunking on rough roads, or uneven tire wear. If a worn inner tie rod end is the cause, this kit replaces it — diagnose the source of the symptom before ordering, and inspect the related outer tie rod end and boot at the same time. This is application specific for the listed vehicle.
