Keep your steering crisp and your front tires tracking straight with the Suspensia Steering Tie Rod End X15TE0334. This is the front left (driver's side) outer tie rod end, and it drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 2010-2012 Ford Fusion, 2011-2012 Lincoln MKZ, and 2010-2011 Mercury Milan.
The outer tie rod end connects the steering system to the steering knuckle and transmits your steering input to turn the front wheel, while its ball-and-socket joint pivots as the wheels steer and the suspension moves.
Sold individually; this listing covers the front left outer tie rod end only, and the right side uses a separate part. Replacing the left and right tie rod ends together helps keep steering feel balanced, and a wheel alignment is recommended after installation.
