Beck/Arnley Steering Tie Rod End P/N:101-8511
Keep your steering tight and responsive with the Beck/Arnley Steering Tie Rod End (P/N 101-5221), a front inner tie rod end that connects the steering linkage and transfers steering input to help direct the front wheels. It drops in as a direct replacement for the 2002-2006 Nissan Altima and 2004-2008 Nissan Maxima — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment.
A worn tie rod end can show up as loose or wandering steering, uneven tire wear, or play and clunking through the steering when turning. If a failed front inner tie rod end is the cause, this unit replaces it. Tie rod ends are often serviced in pairs; have the alignment checked after installation.
