Help keep your steering tight and predictable with the Dorman - OE Solutions 543-772, a front inner Ford Fusion tie rod end for 2010-2012 models that also fits the 2011-2012 Lincoln MKZ and 2010-2011 Mercury Milan. It directly replaces the original equipment tie rod on these applications and has been through Dorman's industry-leading evaluation process, which is intended to ensure smooth, safe operation. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level details.

At the inner end of the steering linkage, a tie rod end carries steering input from the steering gear out toward the front wheels. When it wears, play can build up in the linkage.

  • Trustworthy replacement: this steering tie rod end assembly directly replaces the original equipment on specific vehicle applications.
  • Durably designed: a factory-sealed, precision-forged housing resists corrosion.
  • Reliably engineered: built to reduce the wear rate and support overall strength.
  • Trustworthy quality: backed by a team of professional engineers and quality control specialists in the United States.

Signs a tie rod end may need replacing include loose or wandering steering, clunking or knocking when turning, and uneven tire wear. These symptoms can have other causes, so diagnose the steering and suspension before replacing parts. A wheel alignment is recommended after installation.
