Description

Product Overview

The SCITOO Tie Rod End Kit is engineered as a precise, drop‑in replacement for the original steering tie rod end found on a range of Hyundai Elantra (model years 2007‑2012) and Kia Forte (model years 2010‑2016) vehicles. Crafted from high‑strength painted steel, each component is heat‑treated to meet or exceed OEM specifications, ensuring long‑term durability under the demanding stresses of everyday driving. The kit arrives pre‑greased, eliminating the need for additional lubrication during installation and reducing the risk of premature wear. With a compact design that mirrors the original part dimensions—9.84 x 7.48 x 5.24 inches and a weight of just 5.35 pounds—the kit fits seamlessly into the existing suspension architecture, preserving factory alignment and handling characteristics.
