- Stronger fastener bond: pre-applied Nylok thread adhesive helps keep the fasteners secure and resistant to vibration.
- Labor Saver hardware: additional installation hardware is included in the box to simplify the job.
- Application-specific engineering: engineered in-house with application-specific upgrades for added durability.

As a front inner tie rod end, it links the steering gear to the outer tie rod and passes your steering input to the wheels while allowing for suspension travel. Play in the wheel, a clunk when turning, wandering steering or uneven front tire wear can be signs a tie rod end may need replacing; if a worn inner tie rod end is the cause, this replaces it.
