Dorman - OE Solutions Steering Tie Rod End P/N:544-544
Tighten up loose steering and keep the front wheels tracking true with the Dorman - OE Solutions Steering Tie Rod End 544-570. This front outer tie rod end links the steering linkage to the knuckle, transferring steering input to the wheel and setting the toe adjustment. It drops in as a direct-fit replacement for a range of full-size Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury cars, including the 1979-1986 Ford LTD, 1992-2002 Ford Crown Victoria, 1981-2002 Lincoln Town Car, and 1979-2002 Mercury Grand Marquis (engine: All).
End 1 uses a 16 mm x 1.5 mm counterclockwise (left-hand) thread and End 2 a 1/2 in clockwise (right-hand) thread, both male. Worn play here can show up as wandering steering, uneven tire wear, or a clunk in the steering; if a failed tie rod end is the cause, this replaces it. Have the alignment checked after installation. Country of origin: China.
