Keep your Ford van's steering tight and predictable with the Dorman - OE Solutions Steering Tie Rod End 540-946, a front right inner tie rod end that directly replaces the original equipment on specific vehicle applications. Its factory-sealed Dorman tie rod boot holds grease in and helps keep road contaminants out, while the precision-forged steel housing resists future corrosion. It drops in on the 1975-1983 Ford E-100 Econoline and E-100 Econoline Club Wagon, and the 1975-1991 Ford E-150 Econoline and E-150 Econoline Club Wagon.

  • Durably designed: powder-coated, precision-forged steel housing, factory-sealed to resist future corrosion.
  • Reliably engineered: built to decrease wear rate and support overall strength.
  • Ready to install: mounting hardware is included — a castle nut, cotter pin, link, and Zerk grease fitting.
  • Trustworthy quality: backed by a team of professional engineers and quality control specialists in the United States.

Both ends carry male threads, and the assembly measures 952 mm in overall length. As an inner tie rod end, it connects the steering linkage and helps translate steering input into wheel movement; a worn unit can show up as play or looseness in the steering, uneven tire wear, or a wandering feel. If a failed tie rod end is the cause, this replaces it. Country of origin: China.
