Mevotech Supreme Steering Tie Rod End P/N:MS76700
Keep your steering precise and your front wheels tracking true with the Mevotech Supreme Steering Tie Rod End (MS40715). This front inner tie rod end is a direct-fit replacement Ford Escape tie rod for the 2005-2007 Ford Escape and 2006-2007 Mercury Mariner — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment. It links the steering system to the wheel and helps transmit steering input while allowing suspension movement; play, clunking, or uneven tire wear are common signs a tie rod end may need replacing.
This Mevotech Supreme steering tie rod end is sold individually. Because tie rod ends work as a matched pair, inspect both sides and replace them together when worn for balanced steering.
