Tighten up loose, wandering steering with the Dorman - OE Solutions Steering Tie Rod End 541-341, a direct-fit front inner tie rod end for 2002-2005 Ford Explorer and 2002-2005 Mercury Mountaineer.

Frequently Asked Questions

What vehicles does this Dorman 541-341 tie rod end fit?

It is a direct-fit replacement for the 2002-2005 Ford Explorer and 2002-2005 Mercury Mountaineer. Check the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm the fit for your exact vehicle.

Is this a front inner tie rod end?

Yes. The catalog lists this as the front inner position tie rod end for the applications shown.

Does it have a sealed boot?

This tie rod end features a factory-sealed, precision-forged housing designed to help resist future corrosion, so no separate Dorman tie rod boot is needed.

Will this fix my 2003 Ford Explorer tie rods problem?

If a worn tie rod end is the cause of loose steering or uneven tire wear on your 2003 Ford Explorer, this unit replaces it. Diagnose the cause first, as other steering parts can share these symptoms.

Do I need an alignment after installing this Mercury Mountaineer tie rod end?

Yes. Replacing a tie rod end changes toe settings, so have a professional wheel alignment performed afterward for even tire wear and proper steering.
