Keep steering response tight and precise with the Beck/Arnley Steering Tie Rod End Kit 101-7977, an inner tie rod end with boot kit that drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 2005-2019 Nissan Frontier, 2005-2012 Nissan Pathfinder, 2005-2015 Nissan Xterra, and 2009-2012 Suzuki Equator — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment. The inner tie rod end links the steering rack to the outer tie rod, transferring steering input to the wheel; worn units can show up as play in the steering, uneven tire wear, or a clunk or wander when turning. If a failed inner tie rod end is the cause, this kit replaces it.
Beck/Arnley parts are sourced through a trusted global network with attention to form, fit, and function for foreign-nameplate applications.
