Motorcraft Outer Steering Tie Rod End

The Motorcraft outer steering tie rod end (also called an outer tie rod or steering tie rod) is a key steering linkage component. It connects the inner tie rod or steering rack to the steering knuckle. This link transfers steering input from the driver to the wheels. It also keeps the front end aligned and the steering responsive.

Key Features:

• Motorcraft is Ford Motor Company's parts brand, so these parts are engineered to meet Ford's original equipment standards
• Articulating ball-and-socket joint allows smooth steering movement and suspension travel
• Durable construction is designed to resist wear, road shock and everyday driving loads
• Protective boot helps keep out dirt and moisture and retains lubricant in the joint
• Helps restore precise steering feel and straight-line tracking when replacing a worn tie rod end

Worn outer tie rod ends can cause loose or wandering steering, uneven tire wear, clunking noises and vibration. Replacing them restores proper steering geometry. A wheel alignment is recommended after installation. Choose the specific part number that matches your application from the available options on this page.
