Keep your steering tight and responsive with the Beck/Arnley Steering Tie Rod End Kit 101-7855, an inner tie rod end with boot kit that installs as a direct-fit replacement for the 2003-2008 Pontiac Vibe and 2003-2008 Toyota Matrix (see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level applications). The inner tie rod end links the steering rack to the outer tie rod, transferring steering input to the wheel and helping maintain accurate toe and steering feel.
Worn inner tie rod ends can show up as steering play, uneven or accelerated tire wear, or a clunk when turning. If a failed inner tie rod end is the cause, this kit replaces it. Have the vehicle aligned after installation.
