Common Steering Issues It May Address

• Excessive steering play or looseness at the front inner linkage
• Clunking or knocking from worn steering components
• Uneven tire wear caused by worn tie rod end geometry
• Steering wander or poor on-center feel
• Loose or damaged threaded connection at the inner tie rod location

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify thread direction, thread diameter, and overall length before installation. Because this is a front inner steering component, a professional alignment is recommended after replacement. Inspect adjacent steering parts, including outer tie rod ends and related linkage hardware, for wear before returning the vehicle to service.
