Mevotech TTX Steering Tie Rod End P/N:TXMS76603

Help keep your steering linkage connected and responsive with the Mevotech TTX Tie Rod End, part number TXMS76603. This front left outer tie rod end has a larger-sphere ball stud and a greaseable design. It fits many vehicles, among them the 2006-2012 Ford Fusion, 2007-2012 Lincoln MKZ and 2006-2009 Mercury Milan. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.

The outer tie rod end connects the steering linkage to the steering knuckle, so steering input reaches the wheel while the joint pivots with suspension travel. Mevotech engineers its TTX line for high-usage commercial and passenger vehicles, SUVs, fleets and working trucks. The line also includes Labor Saver designs, tools and hardware intended to make installation faster and easier.

• Sintered bearings and sealed boot: Patented sintered bearings are designed for longer-lasting performance. A patented sealing ring locks the boot onto the ball joint housing to help keep contaminants out.
• Larger sphere design: Uses an application-specific ball stud system with a larger sphere.
• Installation 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.
• Simple to service: A 180-degree SAE grease fitting is included.

Signs a tie rod end may need replacing include loose or wandering steering, clunking from the steering linkage and uneven tire wear. If a worn outer tie rod end is the cause, this part replaces it. A wheel alignment is recommended after installation.
