NTP Inner Tie Rod End Steering Rack End

The NTP inner tie rod end, also called a steering rack end or inner tie rod, is a replacement steering component for rack-and-pinion steering systems. It threads into the end of the steering rack and connects the rack to the outer tie rod end. This link carries steering input from the rack to the wheels.

Key Features:

• Ball-and-socket joint design that pivots as the suspension moves and the steering turns
• Mounts directly to the steering rack and sits under the protective rack boot
• Threaded outer end connects to the outer tie rod end, so toe can be adjusted during a wheel alignment
• Replacement part for worn inner tie rods that cause loose or wandering steering, clunking noises, or uneven tire wear

Installation Notes: Replacing an inner tie rod usually takes a dedicated inner tie rod removal tool, which helps avoid damage to the rack. A wheel alignment is recommended after installation.

Inner and outer tie rod ends wear over time. If you replace the inner tie rod, check the outer tie rod end and the rack boot at the same time. Each variant in this NTP line is a replacement inner tie rod end for a different application.
