Tighten up loose steering with the Beck/Arnley Steering Tie Rod End (P/N: 101-4835), a direct-fit front inner tie rod end for the 2001-2005 Honda Civic and 2001-2005 Acura EL — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full engine breakdown. This inner tie rod end links the steering rack to the outer linkage, transmitting steering input to the wheel while allowing the joint to articulate with suspension travel.
Signs this part may need replacing include play or looseness in the steering, a knocking sensation through the wheel, and uneven front tire wear. If a worn inner tie rod end is the cause, this replaces it — diagnose the linkage first, since these symptoms can have other sources. An alignment is recommended after installation.
