Keep your steering input translating cleanly to the front wheels with the Dorman - OE Solutions Steering Tie Rod End 544-529. This adjustable, bent tie rod end directly replaces the original equipment tie rod as a direct-fit replacement for the 2003-2011 Ford Crown Victoria, 2003-2004 Ford Grand Marquis, 2003-2011 Lincoln Town Car, 2003-2011 Mercury Grand Marquis, and 2003-2004 Mercury Marauder [All]. It links the steering linkage to the steering knuckle, carrying steering motion to the wheel while allowing for suspension travel.
Forged steel housing: factory-sealed, precision-forged steel with an e-coated finish that resists corrosion.
Adjustable, bent design: a threaded female end (14 mm, 1.5 mm pitch) and a threaded male stud end (12 mm, 1.75 mm pitch), with a hex drive for setting toe.
Pre-greased and sealed: ships pre-greased with a polymer bearing and a black polychloroprene dust boot; it is not greaseable (no grease fitting).
What's in the box: one tie rod end plus a locking nut (mounting hardware included); no castle nut, cotter pin, bolts, washers, or adjusting sleeve.
It's engineered to reduce wear and provide overall strength, and each unit undergoes an industry-leading evaluation for smooth, safe operation. Signs a tie rod end may need replacing include loose or wandering steering, uneven front-tire wear, and play or a knock in the steering. If a worn tie rod end is the cause, this replaces it — have the alignment set afterward. Country of origin: China.
