Help bring back tight, responsive steering with the Dorman - OE Solutions Tie Rod End 543-754, a front inner unit that directly replaces the original equipment on the 2007-2014 Ford Edge and 2007-2015 Lincoln MKX. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for engine-level details.
The inner tie rod end connects the steering rack to the outer tie rod end and carries your steering input to the front wheels. Dorman put this steering tie rod end through an industry-leading evaluation process aimed at smooth, safe operation.
- Direct replacement: engineered to take the place of the original equipment assembly on specific vehicle applications.
- Durable design: factory-sealed, with a precision-forged housing that resists corrosion.
- Reliable engineering: built to lower the wear rate and add overall strength.
- Quality backing: supported by a team of professional engineers and quality control specialists in the United States.
If you suspect a worn inner tie rod on your 2007-2014 Ford Edge, signs it may need replacing include loose or wandering steering, extra play in the steering wheel, a clunk when turning, or uneven tire wear. Other steering and suspension parts can cause the same symptoms, so inspect the linkage before replacing. A wheel alignment is recommended after installation.
