Keep your 2005-2007 Ford Focus tracking straight and steering tight with the Mevotech Supreme Steering Tie Rod End MES80580. This front outer tie rod end links the steering linkage to the steering knuckle, transmitting your steering input to the front wheel, and it installs as a direct-fit replacement for the 2005-2007 Ford Focus.
- Sintered metal strength: built with sintered metal technology for added durability and longer service life.
- Resists corrosion: a protective surface treatment helps prevent rust build-up.
- Simple to service: includes an SAE grease fitting so it can be re-greased in service.
- Labor Savers added: extra hardware is included in the box to simplify installation.
Mevotech Supreme parts are engineered in-house with application-specific upgrades and built for high-usage commercial and passenger vehicles, SUVs, fleets and working trucks, then put through extensive in-house and third-party durability testing. A worn tie rod end can show up as loose or wandering steering, a knocking sound when turning or over bumps, and uneven front tire wear — if the tie rod end is the cause, this replaces it. Sold individually; replacing both sides together is recommended.
