Built for hard work, the Dorman RD front inner tie rod end, part number TI85330RD, connects the steering rack to the outer tie rod end and is made for vehicles that see off-road work, heavy hauling and towing.

The RD on Dorman's packaging stands for "rugged duty." This line of chassis components is engineered for severe-duty service, including off-road work, heavy hauling, towing and emergency vehicles such as ambulances and off-road rescue trucks. Whether you need a 2013-2019 Ford Escape inner tie rod or a part for another listed vehicle, it is an upgraded direct replacement, designed to fit like the OE design and engineered for improved durability.
- Quenched and tempered steel housings: The tie rod bearing housings are quenched and tempered steel. They are finished with Dorman's exclusive protective coating for durability and corrosion resistance.
- Hardware included: The necessary hardware comes with the part and also carries a corrosion-resistant coating.
- Pre-greased where applicable: Where the design calls for it, the joint is pre-loaded with premium grease inside a specially designed Dorman tie rod boot with molded-in standoffs. This helps keep lubrication where it belongs and streamlines installation.
- Trustworthy quality: The part is backed by Dorman's chassis engineering and manufacturing experts in the United States and more than a century of automotive experience.
