Beck/Arnley Steering Tie Rod End P/N:101-8809
Keep your steering tight and precise with the Beck/Arnley Steering Tie Rod End (P/N 101-6872), a front inner tie rod end built as a direct replacement for OE applications. If you're shopping for a Subaru Outback tie rod end, this unit drops in on the 2015-2019 Subaru Outback, 2015-2019 Subaru Legacy, 2009-2013 Subaru Forester, and 2015-2021 Subaru WRX (see the Buyer's Guide tab for full engine details).
The tie rod end connects the steering linkage to the steering knuckle, transferring steering input to the front wheels while its ball stud pivots to allow suspension travel. A worn tie rod end may show up as loose or wandering steering, uneven tire wear, or a clunk when turning.
It's good practice to inspect and replace both sides as needed and to have the alignment checked after installation.
