Beck/Arnley Steering Tie Rod End P/N:101-8511
Keep your steering crisp and your front wheels pointed true with the Beck/Arnley Steering Tie Rod End 101-7971 (also written 1017971). This front inner tie rod end connects the steering linkage to the steering knuckle, transferring steering input to the wheel while its ball stud allows the joint to pivot through steering and suspension travel. It drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 2009-2019 Toyota Corolla and 2009-2013 Toyota Matrix — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-specific coverage.
Worn tie rod ends can show up as loose or wandering steering, uneven or accelerated tire wear, or a clunk or play felt through the wheel. If a failed front inner tie rod end is the cause, this replaces it; have the steering and suspension inspected and an alignment performed after installation.
