Installation Notes
Fits 1998-2002 Honda Accord, N/A, and 2000 Honda Accord, N/A.

For the 2000 Honda Accord application, ID #(s) S82 A0 are noted and inner tie rods are included. Check front-end alignment after installation and inspect the return line for restriction or kinks if steering return is poor.
