Beck/Arnley Steering Tie Rod End P/N:101-5279
Keep your steering tight and your front tires tracking true with the Beck/Arnley Steering Tie Rod End 101-4455. This front left outer tie rod end drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 1995-2004 Toyota Tacoma (see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment), connecting the steering linkage to the knuckle and transferring steering input to the wheel.
Worn tie rod ends can show up as loose or wandering steering, uneven or feathered tire wear, or a clunk and play felt through the wheel. If a failed outer tie rod end is the cause, this front left outer unit replaces it. Tie rod ends install as left/right pairs; inspect and replace both sides as directed by your service procedure, and have the front alignment set after installation.
