J.C. Whitney SET-JRH28210014-2 Front Inner Tie Rod End Set Driver and Passenger Side

The J.C. Whitney SET-JRH28210014-2 is a front inner tie rod end set designed as a direct OEM replacement for the Kia Optima. This set includes both the driver-side (LH) and passenger-side (RH) front inner tie rod ends, allowing for a complete axle-to-axle restoration of steering linkage integrity in a single purchase.

Inner tie rod ends serve as the critical pivot point between the steering rack and the outer tie rod ends. Worn or damaged inner tie rods can cause loose, imprecise steering feel, uneven tire wear, and clunking or knocking noises during turns. Replacing them restores proper steering geometry and directional control.

Key Features:

• Direct OEM replacement fit — no modifications required
• Includes one driver-side (LH) and one passenger-side (RH) front inner tie rod end
• Restores precise steering response and reduces play in the steering rack
• Helps eliminate clunking noise and uneven tire wear caused by worn inner tie rods
• Manufactured to meet original equipment specifications for proper fitment and durability

Designed as a vehicle-specific fit, these inner tie rod ends install using standard hand tools and are compatible with the factory steering rack. A wheel alignment is recommended after installation to ensure proper toe settings.
