Dorman - OE Solutions Steering Tie Rod End P/N:544-544
Keep your steering precise and predictable with the Dorman - OE Solutions Steering Tie Rod End 544-552, engineered to drop in like the original at the front right outer position on the 2002-2005 Ford Thunderbird, 1999-2002 Jaguar S-Type, and 2000-2006 Lincoln LS (All engines). A tie rod end links the steering to the wheel and transfers steering input to turn the front wheel.
It has a female End 1 and a male End 2 and measures 187.5 mm in length. Common signs a tie rod end may need replacing include loose or wandering steering, uneven front tire wear, and a knocking feel through the wheel. If a worn tie rod end is the cause, replacing it with 544-552 helps restore a solid steering connection; have an alignment performed afterward. Backed by professional engineers and quality control specialists in the United States. Country of origin: China.
