Keep your steering tight and responsive with the Beck/Arnley Front Outer Tie Rod End (P/N 101-3970), a direct-fit tie rod for the 1984 Toyota Corolla and 1985-1989 Toyota MR2. Positioned as the front outer joint, it links the steering linkage to the steering knuckle and transmits your steering input to the front wheel, while its ball stud allows the joint to pivot as the suspension moves and the wheels turn.
Beck/Arnley builds this part to match OE form, fit and function for foreign-nameplate applications, so it drops in as a direct replacement.
Signs the original may need replacing include loose or vague steering, a knocking feel in the steering, and uneven front tire wear — have the cause diagnosed, since these symptoms can involve other steering or suspension parts. This tie rod end fits the 1984 Toyota Corolla and 1985-1989 Toyota MR2; see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level details.
