The inner tie rod end is part of the steering linkage. It connects the steering rack to the outer tie rod end so the front wheels respond to steering input. Signs it may need replacing include play or looseness in the steering wheel, wandering, clunking when turning, and uneven tire wear. Have the steering system inspected to confirm the cause before replacing parts. Plan on a wheel alignment after installation.
Where does the MS86700 install?
MS86700 is cataloged as a front inner tie rod end. That is the section of the steering linkage that connects to the steering rack.
Is this the right tie rod end for a 2003-2005 Toyota Echo?

What are signs a tie rod end may need replacing?

Do I need an alignment after installing it?
