Beck/Arnley Steering Tie Rod End P/N:101-8511
Keep steering tight and precise with the Beck/Arnley Steering Tie Rod End 101-7646, a front inner tie rod end that drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 2006-2015 Mazda MX-5 Miata (see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine details). It links the steering system to the front wheel, transmitting steering input and helping maintain accurate wheel alignment and toe.
Worn tie rod ends often show up as steering play, clunking or looseness in the steering, and uneven front tire wear. If a failed inner tie rod end is the cause, this replaces it — have an alignment performed after installation. Tie rod ends commonly wear as a pair, so inspect the opposite side and consider replacing both for balanced steering feel.
