Keep your steering tight and predictable with the Beck/Arnley Steering Tie Rod End (P/N 101-5094), a front inner tie rod end built as a direct replacement for foreign-nameplate applications. If you're shopping for a 2001-2005 Kia Rio tie rod end, this one drops in on that vehicle and on the 1994-1997 Ford Aspire. See the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm your exact vehicle.
Engineered to match OE form, fit, and function, this tie rod end is part of the steering linkage and helps transmit driver input to the front wheels. Worn tie rod ends can show up as loose or wandering steering, uneven front tire wear, or a knocking feel through the wheel. If the tie rod end is the cause, this replaces it.
Have your alignment checked after installation.
