Tighten up loose, wandering steering on your Nissan Altima with the Beck/Arnley Steering Tie Rod End 101-4838. This front inner tie rod end connects the steering linkage to the wheel, transferring input from the steering gear so the wheel follows your commands. It drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 1998-2001 Nissan Altima — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment.
Signs this part may need replacing include loose or wandering steering, uneven or accelerated tire wear, clunking or knocking from the steering, and play felt in the wheel. If a worn tie rod end is the cause, this replaces the front inner unit; have the alignment checked after installation.
