Beck/Arnley Steering Tie Rod End P/N:101-8511
Keep your steering tight and predictable with the Beck/Arnley Steering Tie Rod End 101-5194 — a front outer tie rod end that links the steering to the wheel and helps set your toe alignment. It drops in as a direct replacement for the 1994-1997 Ford Aspire and 2001-2005 Kia Rio; see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full engine-level fitment. Whether you're shopping a Kia Rio tie rod end or a Ford Aspire front outer, this unit is built to match the original.
Worn tie rod ends can show up as loose or wandering steering, uneven front tire wear, or a clunk or knock when turning — signs this part may need replacing. Because it sets toe, have the alignment checked after installation. Replacing outer tie rod ends in matched pairs is good practice for even steering feel.
