Description

Keep steering tight and responsive under punishing loads with the Dorman - OE Solutions Steering Tie Rod End (TI85330RD), a front inner tie rod end from Dorman's RD "rugged duty" chassis line built for severe-duty service. It's a direct-fit replacement for the 2012-2018 Ford Focus, 2013-2018 Ford C-MAX, 2013-2019 Ford Escape, 2014-2023 Ford Transit Connect, and 2015-2019 Lincoln MKC — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level details.

Rugged-duty design: engineered for vehicles facing off-road work, heavy hauling, towing, and other tough commercial applications where readiness for duty is required, including emergency vehicles like ambulances and off-road rescue trucks.
Quenched-and-tempered steel housing: the tie rod bearing housing is made of quenched and tempered steel and finished with an exclusive protective coating for added durability and corrosion resistance.
Hardware included: the necessary hardware is supplied and also carries a corrosion-resistant coating. Where applicable, each joint is pre-loaded with premium grease in specially designed grease boots with molded-in standoffs to help keep lubrication where it belongs.
Upgraded direct replacement: designed to match the fit of the OE design in specified severe-duty applications and a strong choice when replacing a failed original inner tie rod end.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does an inner tie rod end do?

It connects the steering rack to the outer tie rod end, transmitting steering input to the front wheels while allowing suspension movement. A worn joint lets steering geometry shift and can cause loose steering.

What are signs this inner tie rod end may need replacing?

Common signs include loose or wandering steering, uneven or accelerated front tire wear, clunking or knocking when turning, and play felt at the wheel. Have the cause diagnosed before replacing.

Does this part fit my vehicle?

It's listed for the 2012-2018 Ford Focus, 2013-2018 Ford C-MAX, 2013-2019 Ford Escape, 2014-2023 Ford Transit Connect, and 2015-2019 Lincoln MKC. Check the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm your engine.

Is mounting hardware included?

Yes. Dorman supplies the necessary hardware, which also features a corrosion-resistant coating. Follow the vehicle service procedure for correct installation and torque.

What is the RD "rugged duty" line?

RD stands for rugged duty — a Dorman line engineered for severe-duty service such as off-road work, heavy hauling, towing, and emergency vehicles that demand maximum dependability.
