Tighten up loose, wandering steering with the MOOG ES80991 Front Outer Steering Tie Rod End. It installs as a direct-fit front outer replacement for the 2004-2007 Ford Freestar and 2004-2007 Mercury Monterey, transferring steering input from the linkage to the front wheels. Designed for OE fit and function, it drops in for a worn original that has developed play.
Ball studs are heat treated to match or exceed OE requirements to inhibit premature failure and improve fatigue strength. Signs your original front outer tie rod end may need replacing include loose or wandering steering, uneven tire wear, and clunking or play in the steering when turning. If a worn tie rod end is the cause, this replacement helps restore steering and handling.
