Dorman - OE Solutions Steering Tie Rod End P/N:543-498
The Dorman 543-172 inner tie rod end for the 1964-1966 Ford Mustang and other vehicles is a pivoting joint in the steering linkage that carries your steering input out to the wheels.
A worn inner tie rod end can make the steering feel loose or wander, cause a clunk when you turn, or wear the tires unevenly. Worn outer tie rod ends, ball joints or an idler arm can cause similar symptoms, so find the source first. Shops normally replace the inner tie rod ends on both sides at the same time, and this listing is a single inner tie rod end.
Listed for a wide range of Ford and Mercury models, it works as a tie rod end for the 1964-1966 Ford Mustang, the 1964-1965 Ford Falcon and the 1964-1965 Ford Falcon Sedan Delivery.
