Keep steering tight and predictable with the Mevotech Supreme Steering Tie Rod End MS40700, a direct-fit replacement for the front inner position on the 2006-2010 Ford Explorer, 2007-2010 Ford Explorer Sport Trac, and 2006-2010 Mercury Mountaineer. The tie rod end links the steering system to the tie rod, transmitting steering input so the wheels track where you point them — a worn one lets play creep into the steering.
If a worn inner tie rod end is behind loose or wandering steering, uneven tire wear, or a knocking sensation while turning, this replaces it. Have an alignment performed after installation. Inspect the matching side and replace as directed by the service procedure for balanced steering.
