Beck/Arnley Steering Tie Rod End P/N:101-8511
Keep your steering tight and responsive with the Beck/Arnley Steering Tie Rod End 101-7663 — a front inner tie rod end that links the steering rack to the outer tie rod, transmitting your steering input to the wheel. It drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 2009-2012 Ford Escape, 2009-2011 Mazda Tribute, and 2011 Mercury Mariner (see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment).
Worn tie rod ends are a common cause of loose or wandering steering, uneven or accelerated tire wear, and clunking or knocking felt through the wheel. If a failed inner tie rod end is the cause of these signs, this replaces it. Tie rod ends are typically serviced in pairs — inspect the opposite side and have an alignment performed after installation.
