Help bring back tight, predictable steering with the MOOG CHASSIS tie rod end ES3365T, a front left inner unit that carries steering input through the linkage toward the wheel. It fits many vehicles, among them the 1997-2003 Ford F-150, 1997-1999 Ford F-250 and 1997-2002 Ford Expedition. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.
MOOG designs its inner tie rod ends for OE fit and function. It backs them with rigorous testing and problem-solving features meant for a straightforward installation. This steering tie rod end is made of forged alloy steel.
Precision tolerances are intended to make installation and steering alignment easier. The same front left inner part also serves as an F-250 tie rod end for 1997-1999 models. If a worn inner tie rod end is behind wandering steering, play at the wheel or uneven tire wear, replacing it helps restore vehicle handling.
Is this a direct-fit Ford F-150 tie rod end?
Yes. It is a direct-fit front left inner tie rod end for the 1997-2003 Ford F-150. Check the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm your exact truck.
What does an inner tie rod end do?
It links the steering linkage to the outer tie rod so steering input reaches the front wheel. Its ball-stud joint allows movement as the suspension travels.
What are signs this tie rod end may need replacing?
Common signs include loose or wandering steering, free play or clunking in the steering, and uneven front tire wear. Diagnose the cause first, since other parts can cause similar symptoms.
Can this tie rod end be greased?
Yes. It has a greaseable socket, so new lubricant can be added to flush out contaminants and help reduce corrosion and wear.
Do I need an alignment after installing it?
Replacing a tie rod end affects steering geometry, so have the wheel alignment checked and set after installation. Its precision tolerances are intended to make that alignment easier.
