Dorman - OE Solutions Steering Tie Rod End P/N:542-982
Keep the steering tight and predictable with the Dorman - OE Solutions Steering Tie Rod End (P/N 540-982), the front right outer tie rod end that connects the steering linkage to the steering knuckle and transmits your input to the wheel while allowing for suspension travel. It installs as a direct-fit replacement on the 1999-2004 Ford F-450 Super Duty, 1999-2004 Ford F-53 Motorhome Chassis, and 1999-2004 Ford F-550 Super Duty.
Signs this part may need replacing include loose or wandering steering, a clunk from the front end, play felt in the steering, or uneven front tire wear. If a worn tie rod end is the cause of those symptoms, this replaces it; diagnose the front end first, since these signs can have other causes. Have the alignment set after installation.
