Beck/Arnley Steering Tie Rod End P/N:101-1873
Tighten up loose, wandering steering with the Beck/Arnley tie rod end 101-4773 (also written 1014773), a front outer tie rod end that connects the steering linkage to the steering knuckle and transmits your steering input to the front wheel while allowing for normal suspension movement. This Beck/Arnley steering tie rod end drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 1989-1997 Geo Tracker, 1987-1995 Suzuki Samurai, 1996-1998 Suzuki Sidekick and 1996-1998 Suzuki X-90 — see the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm your engine.
Worn tie rod ends can show up as play or looseness in the steering, a clunk when turning, or uneven front tire wear. If a failed outer tie rod end is the cause, this replaces it. Replacing tie rod ends typically requires a follow-up wheel alignment.
