Mevotech Supreme Steering Tie Rod End P/N:MS76700
Keep your steering tight and precise with the Mevotech Supreme steering tie rod end (MES416L), a direct-fit replacement for a huge range of vintage Ford, Edsel, Mercury, Lincoln and International applications — including the 1949-1957 Ford Custom, 1955-1960 Ford Fairlane, 1956-1960 Ford Thunderbird, 1958-1959 Edsel Ranger, 1950-1958 Mercury Monterey and 1961-1962 International C100. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list. Depending on the application, it installs as a front outer, front inner, or drag link end. The tie rod end links the steering linkage to the spindle, using a ball stud that transmits steering input to turn the wheels while allowing for suspension and steering travel.
If a worn tie rod end is behind loose, wandering steering, a front-end clunk, or uneven tire wear, this replaces it. Pair it with a wheel alignment after installation.

What vehicles does the MES416L tie rod end fit?
It fits many classic Ford, Edsel, Mercury, Lincoln and International models — for example the 1949-1957 Ford Custom, 1955-1960 Ford Fairlane and 1961-1962 International C100. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.
What position does this Custom tie rod end install in?
Depending on the application, it serves as a front outer, front inner, or drag link end. Confirm the correct position for your vehicle in the Buyer's Guide before ordering.
What are the signs a tie rod end needs replacing?
Loose or wandering steering, a clunk or rattle from the front end over bumps or when turning, excessive play in the steering, and uneven or rapid tire wear.
Does the MES416L include installation hardware?
Yes. Mevotech's Labor Saver design adds extra installation hardware in the box to help make the installation faster and easier.
Should tie rod ends be replaced in pairs?
It isn't required, but if both sides show wear, replacing them together is good practice. Have a wheel alignment performed after any tie rod end is replaced.
