Product Details
Tie Rod End for ISUZU 100P
,OEM 8971073490 Tie Rod End
,Front Left Tie Rod End M20×1.5
The Tie Rod End with OEM number 8-97107349-0 (8971073490) is a direct-fit replacement for ISUZU 100P / ELF light trucks and related N-Series models (NPR, NKR, NHR). This outer tie rod end connects the inner rack end to the steering knuckle on the front left side, transmitting steering force to the wheel.
How It Works: The tie rod end is a ball-jointed link threaded onto the inner tie rod. Its tapered stud seats into the steering knuckle, allowing the wheel to pivot while the tie rod adjusts toe alignment. A worn tie rod end (loose ball stud, torn boot, or damaged thread) causes steering play, uneven tire wear, and vague steering response.
Interchangeable references include: 8970394630, 8971073491, 8971073492, 8971421011, 8-97142101-1.
Weight Data Variance: AUTOTEC lists 0.55 kg; GMB/Amazon lists approximately 0.658 kg. This may reflect packaging or measurement differences.
- Steering wheel play or looseness (excessive free play before wheels respond)
- Clunking or knocking noise from the front suspension over bumps
- Vague or wandering steering at highway speeds
- Uneven or accelerated front tire wear (toe misalignment)
- Torn or deteriorated rubber boot at the ball joint

Important Fitment Notes:
HDA-008 / MC828264 are aftermarket cross-reference numbers, primarily appearing in Mitsubishi Fuso brake booster catalogs. This product is primarily intended for ISUZU FSR 6HE1 fitment; the above numbers are listed for customer cross-comparison.
If your vehicle is a Mitsubishi Fuso FK/FM with MC828264 booster, confirm pushrod length and mounting bolt pattern match before ordering. The "short" vs "long" pushrod variants exist within the MC828264 family.
Always provide VIN/chassis number for verification. Do not rely solely on cross-reference numbers.

IMPORTANT: Tie rod end replacement affects steering alignment. Wheel alignment (toe) is mandatory after installation. Professional workshop installation strongly recommended.
- Raise and support vehicle; remove the front left wheel.
- Loosen the outer tie rod lock nut (hold the inner rack end with a wrench to prevent rotation).
- Remove the cotter pin and castle nut securing the tie rod stud to the steering knuckle. Use a ball joint separator to release the stud.
- Unscrew the outer tie rod from the inner rack end. Count the number of turns for approximate alignment reference.
- Thread the new tie rod onto the rack end to the same number of turns. Install the stud into the knuckle and torque the castle nut to OEM specification (confirm in manual). Install new cotter pin.
- Torque the lock nut to specification.
- Perform wheel alignment (toe adjustment) immediately after installation.
- Test steering operation and road-test before returning to service.
- Inspect tie rod boots for tears during every oil change or suspension service.
- Check for steering play at every 20,000–30,000 km.
- Replace if play exceeds specification, boot is torn, or clunking noise is present.
