Beck/Arnley Steering Tie Rod End P/N:101-5279
Tighten up steering response and restore secure wheel control with the Beck/Arnley Steering Tie Rod End 101-5429 (also written 1015429). This is the front left outer tie rod end, and it drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 2001-2005 Lexus IS300 — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level details. The tie rod end connects the steering linkage to the steering knuckle, transmitting steering input to the wheel while allowing suspension and steering movement; a worn unit can cause play in the steering, uneven tire wear, or a clunk from the front end.
Sold individually; inspect the opposite side and replace in pairs as needed for balanced steering. Always have the alignment checked after installation.
