Description

Help keep steering input traveling cleanly to the front wheels with the Dorman OE Solutions Tie Rod End 543-740. This front inner replacement fits the 2003-2005 Ford Thunderbird, 2003-2008 Jaguar S-Type and 2003-2006 Lincoln LS. Dorman designed this steering tie rod end to directly replace the original equipment tie rod on those applications. It has been through an industry-leading evaluation process intended to deliver smooth, safe operation.

Direct replacement: the assembly takes the place of the original equipment part on the listed applications.
Durable design: it is factory-sealed, and its precision-forged housing resists future corrosion.
Reliable engineering: it is built to decrease the wear rate and support overall strength.
Quality backing: a team of professional engineers and quality control specialists in the United States stands behind it.

A tie rod end is a jointed link in the steering linkage. It carries steering movement toward the wheel and pivots as the suspension travels. As it wears, play can develop in the steering. If a worn front inner tie rod end is causing loose steering, wandering or uneven tire wear, this part replaces it. Have the front alignment checked after installation. See the Buyer's Guide tab for complete vehicle details.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this tie rod end fit my 2003-2006 Lincoln LS?

Yes. It is listed for the 2003-2006 Lincoln LS in the front inner position. See the Buyer's Guide tab for complete vehicle details.

Is this a direct replacement tie rod end for the 2003-2008 Jaguar S-Type?

Yes. Dorman lists it as a direct replacement for the original equipment tie rod on the 2003-2008 Jaguar S-Type, and it installs in the front inner position.

What does a front inner tie rod end do?

It forms a jointed link in the steering linkage. It carries steering movement toward the front wheel and lets the linkage pivot as the suspension moves.

What are signs a tie rod end may need replacing?

Common signs are loose or vague steering, extra play in the steering wheel, wandering, clunking when turning and uneven front tire wear. Other parts can cause these symptoms, so have the steering inspected first.

Is a wheel alignment needed after installing it?

Yes. Replacing a tie rod end affects the toe setting, so have the front alignment checked and set after installation, following the vehicle service information.
