Keep steering response tight and predictable with the Mevotech Supreme steering tie rod end (MEV117) — a front inner tie rod end that drops in as a direct-fit Mustang II tie rod end replacement across a wide range of Ford, Lincoln and Mercury applications. On these vehicles the inner tie rod links the steering gear to the outer tie rod, transmitting steering input to the front wheel while allowing for suspension travel.
Signs the original may need replacing include loose or wandering steering, a knocking feel through the wheel, and uneven front tire wear. Diagnose the cause first — if a worn tie rod end is to blame, this unit replaces it.
