Beck/Arnley Steering Tie Rod End P/N:101-4131
Steer with confidence and help keep the front wheels tracking true with the Beck/Arnley tie rod end 101-7608, a front outer steering tie rod end that connects the steering linkage to the steering knuckle and transmits steering input to the wheel. It installs as a direct-fit replacement for the 2008-2016 Smart fortwo (see the "Vehicles it fits" section for engine details).
Loose or wandering steering, uneven front tire wear, and clunking or play felt through the wheel are signs a tie rod end may need replacing. If a failed tie rod end is behind those signs, this replaces it. Tie rod ends install as left/right pairs; this listing is for one unit, and replacing both sides together is good practice for even steering feel and balanced tire wear.
