Looking for a Ford Escape tie rod built for hard daily use? The Mevotech TTX Tie Rod End TXMS40629 is the front right outer unit. It connects the tie rod to the steering knuckle so your steering input reaches the wheel. It is a direct-fit replacement for the 2012-2018 Ford Focus, 2013-2018 Ford C-MAX, 2013-2019 Ford Escape, 2014-2019 Ford Transit Connect and 2015-2019 Lincoln MKC.
Mevotech designs its TTX line for high-usage commercial and passenger vehicles, SUVs, fleets and working trucks. The line pairs that build with Labor Saver designs, tools and hardware intended to make installation faster and easier.
- Maximum toughness: patented sintered bearings are designed for longer-lasting performance.
- Locks out contaminants: a patented sealing ring permanently locks the boot onto the ball joint housing.
- Larger sphere design: an application-specific ball stud system with a larger sphere.
- Hardware provided: a part-specific slotted castle nut, an easy-snap cotter pin and a 180-degree SAE grease fitting for simple servicing. Pre-applied nylok thread adhesive helps keep fasteners secure and vibration resistant.
Signs a steering tie rod end may need replacing include looseness or play in the steering, uneven tire wear, clunking when turning, or a vehicle that wanders on the road. If a worn front right outer end is the cause, this unit replaces it. Have the wheel alignment checked after installation. Engine-specific details are listed in the Buyer's Guide tab.
