Keep your steering tight and your front wheels tracking true with the Beck/Arnley Steering Tie Rod End (MPN 101-4773). This front outer 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 for engine-level fitment. It connects the steering linkage to the steering knuckle, transferring steering input to the front wheel while allowing suspension movement.
Worn tie rod ends may show up as loose or wandering steering, uneven or accelerated front tire wear, or a clunk when turning. If a failed outer tie rod end is the cause, this replaces it; tie rod ends install as left/right pairs, so inspect and replace both sides and have the front alignment set after installation.
