It installs as a direct replacement across the listed Hyundai and Kia applications.
Beck/Arnley parts are built as direct replacements for Original Equipment applications across foreign nameplates, with attention to form, fit, and function. Key features:
Worn tie rod ends can show up as loose or wandering steering, uneven front tire wear, or knocking when turning; if a failed outer tie rod end is the cause, this replaces it.
