Bring back precise, predictable steering with the MOOG Chassis EV424 front inner tie rod end, a 2001-2007 Ford Escape tie rod that is also a direct-fit replacement for the 2001-2006 Mazda Tribute and the 2005-2007 Mercury Mariner. It belongs to MOOG's QuickSteer™ line, which is designed and tested to help restore steering and handling to their original performance, and it is designed for OE fit and function.
As a steering tie rod end, this inner unit connects the steering gear to the outer tie rod end and carries your steering input to the front wheels. This MOOG CHASSIS tie rod end is backed by quality materials and thorough testing.
Strong and durable: The ball studs are heat treated to match or exceed OE requirements. This is designed to inhibit premature failure and improve fatigue strength.
Forged alloy steel: The part is made of forged alloy steel for durability.
Easy to install: Wrench flats on the housing and stud make installation and alignment adjustment easier.
Time savings: A pre-applied thread locking compound simplifies installation and helps prevent self-loosening.
MOOG engineers test the part throughout design and development. Worn inner tie rods can cause loose steering, a knock when turning or uneven front tire wear, but other parts can cause these signs too. If a worn inner tie rod is the cause on your vehicle, replacing it with this Ford Escape tie rod end helps restore vehicle handling. Plan on a wheel alignment after installation. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine details.
