Beck/Arnley Steering Tie Rod End P/N:101-8511
Connect the steering linkage to the front wheel with the Beck/Arnley Front Outer Tie Rod End 101-4974 — a direct-fit 4RUNNER tie rod that transmits your steering input to the wheel. It installs as a front outer replacement on the 2003-2009 Lexus GX470, 2003-2009 Toyota 4Runner, and 2007-2009 Toyota FJ Cruiser (see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level detail).
Worn tie rod ends are a common cause of loose or wandering steering, uneven tire wear, and clunking or play felt through the wheel — signs this part may need replacing. If a failed tie rod end is the cause, this replaces it. Tie rod ends install as left/right pairs; sold individually, so order 2 for a complete replacement.
