Help restore steady, responsive steering with the QuickSteer EV433 front inner tie rod end from MOOG Chassis, a direct-fit replacement for the 1995-2004 Toyota Tacoma and 1996-2002 Toyota 4Runner. It is designed for OE fit and function. The inner tie rod end connects the steering rack to the outer tie rod end, carrying your steering input out to the front wheels.
Over time, wear in the inner joint can let play develop in the steering linkage. Signs this part may need replacing include loose or wandering steering, extra free play at the wheel, a clunk when turning, and uneven tire wear. Other steering and suspension parts can cause similar symptoms, so inspect the system to confirm the cause before replacing. If a worn inner tie rod end is the cause, replacing it helps restore vehicle handling. A wheel alignment is recommended after installation.
