Mevotech Supreme Steering Tie Rod End P/N:MS76700
Keep your steering tight and responsive with the Mevotech Supreme steering tie rod end MES3349RL, a direct-fit front outer replacement for the 1996-2007 Ford Taurus and 1996-2005 Mercury Sable. This tie rod end links the steering linkage to the steering knuckle, transmitting steering input so the front wheels turn together and track true.
Mevotech Supreme parts are engineered in-house with application-specific upgrades for added durability, and the line's tie rod ends are built for high-usage passenger vehicles, SUVs, fleets and working trucks.
Loose or wandering steering, uneven tire wear, and clunking when turning are signs the front outer tie rod end may need replacing. Have the cause diagnosed first, and inspect the opposite side while you're there for balanced steering.
