Beck/Arnley Steering Tie Rod End P/N:101-5279
Sharpen a loose, wandering RAV4 tie rod connection with the Beck/Arnley Front Inner Tie Rod End 101-4293, a direct-fit replacement for the 1996-2003 Toyota RAV4, 1993-2002 Toyota Corolla, 1998-2002 Chevrolet Prizm, and 1993-1997 Geo Prizm. This front inner tie rod end links the steering rack to the outer tie rod, transferring steering input to the wheel so the vehicle tracks and turns as intended. Engineered to match OE form, fit, and function across foreign-nameplate applications, it drops in as a Toyota RAV4 tie rod replacement without modification.
If a worn tie rod end is the cause of your play, uneven tire wear, or imprecise steering, this replaces it as a RAV4 tie rod end and matching Corolla/Prizm unit. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full engine-level application list. Sold individually; inspect both sides and replace as directed by the service procedure.
