Beck/Arnley Steering Tie Rod End P/N:101-8511
Keep your steering tight and predictable with the Beck/Arnley Steering Tie Rod End 101-7769, a direct-fit front inner tie rod end for a wide range of Audi and Porsche models. It installs as a replacement for the 2012-2018 Audi A6, 2012-2020 Audi A6 Quattro, 2012-2018 Audi A7 Quattro, 2018 Audi A8 Quattro, 2013-2017 Audi Q5, 2014-2018 Audi RS7, 2013-2018 Audi S6, 2013-2018 Audi S7, 2015-2018 Audi S8, 2014-2017 Audi SQ5, and the 2015-2025 Porsche Macan — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the engine-level list.
This inner tie rod end links the steering rack to the steering knuckle, transmitting steering input to the front wheels. Worn units show up as play in the steering, uneven front tire wear, or a clunk when turning — if a failed tie rod end is the cause, this replaces it.
