Mevotech Supreme Steering Tie Rod End P/N:MEV326
Help address loose, wandering steering with the Mevotech Supreme steering tie rod end (MPN MS40609), a direct-fit front left outer replacement for the 2007-2014 Ford Edge and the 2007-2015 Lincoln MKX. This outer tie rod end links the steering rack to the steering knuckle and transmits your inputs to the front wheel — worn play here shows up as loose or wandering steering, uneven tire wear, and clunk or looseness felt in the wheel.
Mevotech Supreme parts are engineered in-house with application-specific upgrades and put through rigorous in-house and third-party durability testing. Sold individually as the front left outer unit; replacing tie rod ends in matched pairs is recommended, and having the alignment checked afterward helps support even tire wear.
