The supplier lists it for the Toyota Corolla from 2014 to 2019 under reference numbers 1G-26013, 2426013 and 4551002490, and the listing title names the L4 1.8L engine. Outer tie rod ends are not part of the assembly. Easy Life Markets offers it as a single unit for owners and workshops replacing a worn or damaged rack.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe steering rack is the part that turns the rotation of your steering wheel into the side-to-side movement that points the front wheels. A small pinion gear on the end of the steering shaft meshes with a toothed bar, the rack, and pushes it left or right inside its housing. Tie rods on each end pass that movement on to the wheels. The \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Rack_and_pinion\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003erack and pinion\u003c\/a\u003e article explains the mechanism well. When the gear teeth, the internal bushings or the inner tie rod joints wear, the steering develops free play and noises that no alignment can remove.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat Is Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 x steering rack and pinion assembly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInner tie rods, fitted to both ends of the rack\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe product photos show the rack with rubber boots over the inner tie rod joints and lock nuts on the tie rod threads, along with blue protective caps for transport.
