Tighten up loose, wandering steering with the Beck/Arnley Steering Tie Rod End (MPN 101-6988), a front inner tie rod end that connects the steering linkage and transfers input from the rack to the wheels. It installs as a direct-fit replacement for the 2006-2011 SAAB 9-3 — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full application and engine details.

  • Matches OE form, fit and function: engineered as a direct replacement for the original equipment tie rod end on the listed applications.
  • Coated or plated for corrosion protection: a protective finish helps resist rust.
  • Pre-greased ball joint: the ball joint comes pre-greased and ready to install.
  • Full ball stud with wrench flat: a full ball stud plus an easy-access wrench flat lets you use a socket for straightforward installation and removal.

Worn tie rod ends can show up as loose or imprecise steering, uneven tire wear, or a clunk in the front end. If a failed front inner tie rod end is the cause, this replaces it. For balanced steering response, inspect the matching side and related linkage while you're in there.
