Description

Help keep your steering precise with the Dorman - OE Solutions 543-777 front inner tie rod end, a direct replacement for the original 2009-2012 Ford Escape tie rod and for the factory part on the 2008-2011 Mazda Tribute and 2009-2011 Mercury Mariner. As a steering tie rod end, it connects the steering rack to the outer tie rod end and carries your steering input out toward the front wheels. Dorman put this part through an industry-leading evaluation process intended to deliver smooth, safe operation.

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

A worn inner tie rod end may show itself as loose or wandering steering, extra play at the steering wheel, a clunk when turning, or uneven front tire wear. These signs can have other causes. If a worn inner tie rod end is the cause, this part replaces it. Have the wheel alignment checked after installation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this a direct-fit 2009-2012 Ford Escape tie rod replacement?

Yes. The 2009-2012 Ford Escape is a listed application for this front inner tie rod end, which directly replaces the original equipment. Check the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm your exact vehicle.

Does it also fit the 2008-2011 Mazda Tribute and 2009-2011 Mercury Mariner?

Yes. Both are listed applications for the 543-777. The Buyer's Guide tab has the full fitment chart for your vehicle.

What does a front inner tie rod end do?

It links the steering rack to the outer tie rod end. This lets steering input from the wheel travel out toward the front wheels.

What are the signs this part may need replacing?

Look for loose or wandering steering, play at the steering wheel, a clunk when turning, or uneven front tire wear. Diagnose the cause first, since other parts can produce the same symptoms.

What should I know when installing this tie rod end?

Follow the vehicle service information for the removal steps, installation and torque values. Have the wheel alignment checked afterward, because replacing a tie rod end can change the toe setting.
