Tighten up loose, wandering steering and restore a solid connection between the steering rack and the knuckle with the Beck/Arnley Inner Tie Rod End Kit, part number 101-7855. This inner tie rod end kit installs as a direct replacement on the 2003-2008 Pontiac Vibe and 2003-2008 Toyota Matrix. Beck/Arnley parts are sourced through a global network focused on foreign-nameplate applications, with attention paid to form, fit, and function.
The inner tie rod end transfers steering-rack motion to the outer tie rod and wheel. Signs it may need replacing include play or looseness in the steering, uneven or feathered tire wear, and clunking or knocking when turning. If a worn inner tie rod end is the cause, this kit replaces it. Inspect the outer tie rod ends and boots at the same time, and have the vehicle aligned after installation.
