Start with the application branch
Compare rack-side thread, outer thread, shoulder diameter, axial-joint body, washer or locking method and the relationship to the rack boot.
An inner rod can share the outer thread while using a different rack joint. Do not quote boot kits or outer joints as included unless named.
Identification checkpoints before price comparison
For inner tie rods, record rack family and steering side, verify rack-side thread and shoulder, and photograph outer thread and overall length on both the installed and removed component.
Scoped OE reference
Research did not reconcile a stable Civic reference across rack family and steering side, rack-side thread and shoulder and outer thread and overall length; an old label, casting or vehicle-specific catalogue result is still required. Use a clear record of outer thread and overall length to continue the review without assigning a guessed number.
Common order boundaries
Build a comparable B2B order line
Provide rack label, old inner-joint dimensions, both thread specifications, rod length and requested lock-washer or boot scope.
Quote single inner tie rod separately from left/right inner rod pair, documenting trial and repeat quantity, destination, Incoterm, label requirements and included hardware for that SKU.
Export packing checkpoint
Use rigid tubes or formed trays, cap threads, prevent joint bodies from striking one another and keep locking washers bagged by SKU.
Common buyer questions
How does rack family and steering side change the Civic inner tie rod order?
Compare rack-side thread, outer thread, shoulder diameter, axial-joint body, washer or locking method and the relationship to the rack boot. Record rack family and steering side, rack-side thread and shoulder and the installed part evidence before treating candidates as comparable.
Which views document outer thread and overall length for Inner Tie Rods?
Photograph the installed location, the complete removed inner tie rod, outer thread and overall length, every connector or fluid interface and the mounting points. Add a ruler view with named endpoints where dimensions are relevant.
Why is no starting number shown for Inner Tie Rods?
Research did not reconcile a stable Civic reference across rack family and steering side, rack-side thread and shoulder and outer thread and overall length; an old label, casting or vehicle-specific catalogue result is still required. For inner tie rods, use the old reference, label, casting and vehicle record rather than borrowing a number from a visually similar Civic branch.
How should single inner tie rod be separated for trade packing?
Provide rack label, old inner-joint dimensions, both thread specifications, rod length and requested lock-washer or boot scope. Apply this packing control: Use rigid tubes or formed trays, cap threads, prevent joint bodies from striking one another and keep locking washers bagged by SKU. Quote single inner tie rod as its own SKU with trial and repeat quantity, destination and buyer-label requirements.
