Product Description
The LR026271 is a genuine OEM Jaguar Land Rover front inner tie rod end (also known as steering rack link or connecting rod) for the Range Rover Evoque (L538) and Discovery Sport (L550) models. This critical steering component connects the steering rack to the outer track rod, transmitting steering input to the wheels while allowing for suspension movement.
This part is non-handed and fits both the left and right front inner positions (two required per vehicle). It is commonly included with or fitted to the electric power steering gear assembly. A worn inner tie rod commonly causes excessive play in the steering wheel, knocking sounds, or imprecise handling.
Please verify fitment against your VIN before ordering, as some late Evoque or specific Discovery Sport variants may reference the updated supersession LR097993.

⚠️ This is a front inner steering tie rod end / rack end, not an anti-roll bar drop link, outer track rod end, or ball joint. It fits both left and right sides. Always replace inner tie rods in pairs and perform a professional wheel alignment after installation.
