What it is. The inner tie rod, or axial joint, that screws into the end of the steering rack. The outer tie rod end threads onto its other end. A worn inner joint gives a clunk through the wheel and loose, wandering steering. Play in the joint is a WoF fail.

Fitment
Compare this with the one you are pulling out, or send us your rego and we will confirm before you buy.
Fitting
- Remove the outer tie rod end, counting the threads so you can set the toe close to where it was.
- Cut the boot clips and slide the boot off.
- Unscrew the old joint from the rack and fit the new one, torqued to spec.
- Refit the boot with new clips, then the outer end.
- Get a wheel alignment straight after.
Best fitted by a qualified mechanic.
