Keep your steering tight and precise with the Beck/Arnley tie rod end (101-5431), a front inner tie rod end that links the steering linkage to the knuckle and transmits your steering input out to the wheel. It drops in as a direct replacement engineered to match OE form, fit and function on the 2004-2009 Toyota Prius.
As part of the front steering linkage, a tie rod end controls the toe angle of the wheel. Signs it may need replacing include loose or wandering steering, clunking when turning, and uneven tire wear — have the cause diagnosed first, and if a worn tie rod end is responsible, this Beck/Arnley steering tie rod end replaces it. Because these install as a left/right pair, inspect both sides and replace as directed by the service procedure.
