Mevotech Supreme Steering Tie Rod End P/N:MS10679
Sharpen up loose, wandering steering with the Mevotech Supreme steering tie rod end MS40616, a direct-fit front outer replacement for the 2010-2013 Ford Transit Connect. A tie rod end links the steering linkage to the wheel, transmitting steering input while its ball stud allows for normal suspension and steering travel. If a worn end is the cause of play in the wheel, clunking on turns, or uneven tire wear, this replaces it.
Quality control protocols are applied for consistent part performance, and the design is innovated inside and out for high durability and easier installation on the listed application.
