Beck/Arnley Steering Tie Rod End P/N:101-4630
Keep your steering tight and precise with the Beck/Arnley steering tie rod end 101-4099, the front left outer tie rod end that links your steering linkage to the front wheel. If you're shopping for a Jetta tie rod end, it's a direct-fit replacement for the 1985-2000 Volkswagen Jetta, 1998 Volkswagen Beetle, 1995-2002 Volkswagen Cabrio, 1990-1995 Volkswagen Corrado, 1985-2000 Volkswagen Golf, and 1990-1997 Volkswagen Passat — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine details.
The outer tie rod end transmits steering input from the linkage to the steering knuckle to turn the wheel while allowing for suspension travel. Signs it may need replacing include loose or wandering steering, a knock when turning, and uneven or inner-edge tire wear — if a worn tie rod end is the cause, this front left outer unit replaces it. Sold individually.
