Built for trucks that tow, haul and work off-road, the Dorman - OE Solutions TO85032RD outer tie rod end belongs to Dorman's RD line, where RD stands for "rugged duty." The line is engineered for severe-duty service. It fits many heavy-duty Ford trucks, among them the 2005-2009 Ford F-250, 2005-2025 Ford F-250 Super Duty and 2005-2025 Ford F-350 Super Duty. It installs in the front right outer position (steering arm to steering arm). See the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list and engine details.
An outer tie rod end forms a pivoting joint in the steering linkage and passes steering input through to the wheels. The RD version is intended for trucks that must stay dependable under hard use, including emergency vehicles such as ambulances and off-road rescue trucks.
- Upgraded direct replacement: designed to fit like the OE design on the listed severe-duty applications, and engineered for improved durability.
- Rugged-duty purpose: made for off-road work, heavy hauling, towing and other tough commercial use where a truck has to be ready for duty.
- Coated steel housing and hardware: the bearing housing is made of quenched and tempered steel and finished with Dorman's exclusive protective coating for a more durable, corrosion-resistant part. The necessary hardware is included and also carries a corrosion-resistant coating.
- Pre-greased where applicable: where applicable, the joint comes pre-loaded with premium grease inside grease boots with molded-in standoffs, which simplifies installation and helps keep lubrication where it is needed.
The part is built to strict specifications and is backed by Dorman's U.S.-based chassis engineering and manufacturing team, along with more than a century of automotive experience. If a worn original outer tie rod end is the cause of loose steering or uneven tire wear, this unit replaces it.
