Kia e-Niro, Niro EV & Soul EV Tie Rod End – Left / Right
This outer tie rod end (track rod end) connects the steering rack to the steering knuckle on the Kia e-Niro built up to January 2021 and the Niro EV from 2022. The right-hand end also fits the Soul EV and e-Soul. It comes with a lock nut.
Replace a tie rod end if the ball joint has play, the rubber boot is split, or you notice knocking, vague steering or uneven wear on the front tyres.
Both brands are made by the bilstein group. Left: Febi 180978 or Blue Print ADBP870064 (Kia 56820-K4000). Right: Febi 180977 or Blue Print ADBP870059 (Kia 56825-K4090).
The left end is listed for the e-Niro and Niro EV only. For the e-Niro, both sides are listed up to build date 01/2021 only.
