TrueDrive REPF282157 Front Inner Tie Rod End OEM Replacement YS4Z3280CB

The TrueDrive REPF282157 is a front inner tie rod end designed as a direct OEM replacement for the Ford Focus, superseding Ford OEM part number YS4Z-3280-CB (also referenced as YS4Z-3A131-CA). This part fits the left (driver) and right (passenger) inner positions interchangeably, covering Ford Focus models from July 1, 2000 through the 2005 model year, excluding the SVT variant.

The inner tie rod end is a critical steering component that connects the steering rack to the outer tie rod end, transmitting steering input from the rack-and-pinion assembly to the front wheels. A worn or damaged inner tie rod can cause loose or vague steering feel, uneven tire wear, and reduced handling precision.

Key Features:

• Direct OEM replacement — matches original equipment fit, form, and function
• Fits both driver and left (RH = LH) inner positions — one part number covers both sides
• Replaces Ford OEM part number YS4Z-3280-CB and superseded number YS4Z-3A131-CA
• Compatible with power steering-equipped Ford Focus models (non-SVT)
• Built to restore proper steering response and eliminate play in the steering linkage
• Manufactured to meet or exceed OE specifications for durability and service life

Cross-reference part numbers include: YS4Z3280CB, YS4Z-3A131-CA, EV419, MEV419, IS419, TI85035. A wheel alignment is recommended after installation to ensure proper steering geometry and prevent premature tire wear.
