Dorman - OE Solutions Steering Tie Rod End P/N:544-544
Help keep steering response tight and predictable with the Dorman - OE Solutions Tie Rod End 544-530, the front right outer link that carries steering input out to the wheel. It fits many vehicles, among them the 2003-2011 Ford Crown Victoria, 2003-2011 Lincoln Town Car and 2003-2011 Mercury Grand Marquis. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list and engine details.
A tie rod end connects the steering linkage to the steering knuckle, so every turn of the steering wheel passes through it. Over time its joint can wear and let play develop in the steering. If a worn 2003-2011 Lincoln Town Car tie rod end at the front right outer position is the cause, this unit directly replaces the original equipment part.
Signs this part may need replacing include loose or wandering steering, extra play in the steering wheel, clunking when turning and uneven front tire wear. Have a wheel alignment done after installation.
