Help keep your steering responsive and connected at the wheel with the Mevotech Supreme steering tie rod end, part number MS40628, which links the tie rod to the steering knuckle so the front left wheel follows your steering input. It fits many vehicles, among them the 2013-2019 Ford Escape, 2012-2018 Ford Focus and 2014-2019 Ford Transit Connect, and is a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications in the front left outer position.
Mevotech engineers its Supreme parts in-house, with application-specific upgrades aimed at increased durability and performance. These tie rod ends are built for high-usage commercial and passenger vehicles, SUVs, fleets and working trucks. Mevotech's Labor Saver™ designs, tools and hardware are intended to make installation faster and easier.
- Superior toughness: sintered bearings are designed for longer-lasting performance.
- Simple to service: a 180 degree SAE grease fitting is included, so the joint can be greased during routine maintenance.
- Larger sphere design: an application-specific ball stud system uses a larger sphere.
- A faster fit: a part-specific nylon locking nut is provided to speed up installation.
The Supreme line goes through extensive in-house and third-party durability testing. Signs this part may need replacing include play in the steering wheel, wandering, clunking when turning, or uneven tire wear. Whether you're doing a 2013 Ford Escape tie rod replacement or servicing another listed vehicle, diagnose the cause before replacing any part, and have the wheel alignment checked after installation.
