J.C. Whitney JRK28210020 Front Inner Tie Rod End OEM Replacement 56540B2000

The J.C. Whitney JRK28210020 is a front inner tie rod end designed as a direct OEM replacement, cross-referencing Kia part number 56540B2000. This is a single-piece unit where the right-hand and left-hand positions are identical, so one part number services both sides of the steering rack.

The inner tie rod end connects the steering rack to the outer tie rod end, transmitting steering input from the rack to the front wheels. Over time, inner tie rod ends can develop play or excessive wear, leading to loose steering feel, uneven tire wear, or clunking noises. Replacing a worn inner tie rod end restores precise steering response and proper front-end alignment geometry.

Key Features:

• Direct OEM replacement — cross-references Kia OEM part number 56540B2000
• Front inner tie rod end; right-hand and left-hand positions are interchangeable (RH=LH)
• Engineered for precise fit and drop-in installation
• Restores proper steering geometry, reducing tire wear and improving handling
• Built to meet or exceed original equipment specifications for durability and performance

After installation, a professional wheel alignment is recommended to ensure proper toe settings and even tire wear.
