Keep steering tight and precise on your Ford Escape with the Dorman - OE Solutions Steering Tie Rod End TO85021RD, a rugged-duty (RD) front left outer tie rod end that connects the steering linkage to the wheel knuckle and helps set toe alignment. It drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 2012-2018 Ford Focus, 2013-2018 Ford C-MAX, 2013-2019 Ford Escape, 2014-2018 Ford Transit Connect, 2017-2018 Ford Transit Custom and 2015-2019 Lincoln MKC.
If a worn original outer tie rod end is behind loose steering, wandering, uneven tire wear or knocking when turning, this RD unit replaces it. Because tie rod ends work as a set, have the alignment checked after installation.
