Keep your steering precise and your front wheels pointed true with the Beck/Arnley Steering Tie Rod End 101-8843 (also written 1018843). This front inner tie rod end connects the steering rack to the linkage, transmitting your steering input to the wheel while allowing the joint to pivot through suspension travel. It installs as a direct-fit replacement for the 2021-2024 Kia Seltos and 2020-2024 Kia Soul — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full engine-level fitment.
Worn tie rod ends can show up as loose or wandering steering, uneven tire wear, or a clunk or play felt through the wheel. If the original inner tie rod end is the cause, this replaces it. Tie rod ends are commonly serviced in pairs — inspect the opposite side and replace as directed by the vehicle service procedure.
