It fits many vehicles, among them the 2020-2025 Ford Escape, 2021-2025 Ford Bronco Sport and 2022-2025 Ford Maverick; see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list and engine-level details. This front inner tie rod end pivots to link the steering rack to the outer tie rod, passing steering input to the wheel while allowing for suspension travel.
Every unit is backed by rigorous in-house and third-party durability testing plus consistent quality-control protocols. If a worn tie rod end is behind loose or wandering steering, play in the linkage, or uneven front tire wear, this MS40778 replaces the failed inner unit.
