• Sintered bearings and larger sphere: patented sintered bearings are designed for longer-lasting performance, paired with an application-specific ball stud system that uses a larger sphere.
• Contaminant sealing: a patented sealing ring locks the boot onto the ball joint housing to help keep contaminants out.
• Hardware provided: a part-specific slotted castle nut and easy snap cotter pin secure the ball joint to the vehicle. Pre-applied nylok thread adhesive helps keep the fasteners secure and resistant to vibration.
• Serviceable: a 180-degree SAE grease fitting is included for routine greasing.

A worn steering tie rod end may show up as loose or wandering steering, clunking when turning, a torn boot or uneven front tire wear. Other steering and suspension parts can cause the same signs, so diagnose the cause before replacing. Whether you are doing a tie rod replacement on a 2013-2019 Ford Escape or a tie rod end job on a 2012-2018 Ford Focus, have the wheel alignment checked after installation.
