The inner tie rod end links the steering rack to the outer tie rod, transmitting steering input to the wheel and providing the joint used to set toe during a wheel alignment. Designed for OE fit and function, it drops in as a replacement for a worn original.
- Forged alloy steel construction for durability.
- Heat-treated ball stud — treated to match or exceed OE requirements to improve fatigue strength and help inhibit premature failure.
- Wrench flats on the housing and stud for easier installation and alignment adjustment.
- Pre-applied thread-locking compound makes installation easier and helps prevent self-loosening.
Premium grade with a male-type rod. Signs the original inner tie rod end may need replacing include play or looseness in the steering, wandering, uneven tire wear, or a clunk when turning; diagnose the cause before replacing. Manufacturer part number EV80665.
