Take on loose, wandering steering with the MOOG QuickSteer EV800571, a front inner 2009-2011 Ford Focus tie rod that links the steering rack to the outer tie rod end and helps keep the front wheels pointed where you steer. It is designed for OE fit and function and is a direct-fit replacement for the 2009-2011 Ford Focus. For engine-level details, see the "Vehicles it fits" section.
QuickSteer chassis parts are designed and tested to help return steering and handling to their original performance.
- Strong and durable: Made of forged alloy steel. The ball studs are heat treated to match or exceed OE requirements, which is intended to inhibit premature failure and improve fatigue strength.
- Easy to install: Wrench flats on the housing and stud simplify installation and alignment adjustment.
- Time savings: Pre-applied thread locking compound makes installation easier and helps prevent self-loosening.
- Rigorous testing: MOOG engineers test the part throughout design and development.
As the inner steering tie rod end in the front linkage, this part transfers rack movement toward the wheel. Signs that it may need replacing include play in the steering wheel, wandering on the highway, clunking when turning, and uneven front tire wear. If you are replacing a worn 2010 Ford Focus tie rod, plan on a wheel alignment afterward.
