Beck/Arnley Steering Tie Rod End P/N:101-5279
Tighten up loose, wandering steering with the Beck/Arnley Steering Tie Rod End (MPN 101-5242), a front inner tie rod end that links the steering rack to the rest of the linkage so your inputs reach the wheels. It installs as a direct-fit replacement for the 2001-2004 Volvo S40 and 2001-2004 Volvo V40 — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level detail.
The tie rod end carries a ball stud that pivots as the suspension and steering move, transferring motion while allowing articulation. Signs the original may need replacing include play in the steering, uneven or accelerated tire wear, and clunking or knocking when turning or over bumps — diagnose the cause before replacing, since these symptoms can have other sources. If a worn front inner tie rod end is the cause, this part replaces it.
