Beck/Arnley Steering Tie Rod End P/N:101-5279
Keep steering input tight and predictable with the Beck/Arnley Steering Tie Rod End 101-7842, a direct-fit replacement for the front left outer position on the 2015 Hyundai Sonata, 2016-2021 Hyundai Tucson, 2016-2020 Kia Optima, 2016-2020 Kia Sorento, and 2017-2022 Kia Sportage — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment. This tie rod end links the steering linkage to the steering knuckle, transmitting the driver's steering input to the front wheel while its ball stud pivots through suspension travel.
Engineered to match OE form, fit, and function so it drops in like the original on the listed applications, it delivers OE-quality steering feel you can install with confidence.
Signs this part may need replacing include loose or wandering steering, uneven tire wear, a clunk or play in the steering linkage, and misaligned front wheels. If a worn tie rod end is the cause, this replaces it — diagnose the cause first.
