Dorman - OE Solutions Steering Tie Rod End P/N:540-965
Help tighten up steering response with the Dorman - OE Solutions Steering Tie Rod End 540-963, a front left inner 1995-1996 Ford F-250 tie rod end that also drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 1997 Ford F-250 HD. This tie rod end is a pivoting joint in the steering linkage that transmits steering input to the front wheel, allowing for steering and suspension travel.
Loose or wandering steering, play in the wheel, uneven front tire wear, or a knock when turning can be signs a tie rod end may need replacing; if a worn front left inner tie rod is the cause, this replaces it. Inspect and align after installation.
