The inner tie rod end connects the steering gear to the outer tie rod end and carries your steering input through to the front wheel. Looseness or play in the steering wheel can be a sign that this part needs replacing. Other possible signs are wandering, a clunk when turning, or uneven tire wear. Have the steering system inspected to confirm the cause, and check the wheel alignment after installation.
What does a front inner tie rod end do?
It connects the steering gear to the outer tie rod end and passes steering input through to the front wheel, so the vehicle turns as you steer.

What are signs an inner tie rod end may need replacing?
Common signs include steering looseness or play, wandering, clunking when turning, and uneven tire wear. Other steering or suspension parts can cause these too, so diagnose the cause before replacing.
Do I need an alignment after installing it?
Replacing a tie rod end affects the toe setting, so a wheel alignment is recommended after installation.
