Dorman - OE Solutions Steering Tie Rod End P/N:543-367
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.
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.
