Motorcraft MEOE-158 Steering Tie Rod End Adjusting Sleeve

The only parts recommended by Ford Motor Company for Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury vehicles.The tie rod is part of the vehicle's steering linkage that connects the front wheel spindles to the steering mechanism.The tie rod moves side-to-side when the steering wheel is rotated, turning the front wheels. The Motorcraft Tie Rod Adjuster Sleeve connects the tie rod and spindle so that the point of attachment can be moved along the tie rod to adjust the alignment of each wheel.When a tie rod is replaced or the vehicle's front end alignment is adjusted, the Motorcraft Adjuster Sleeve allows the tie rod to be moved inward or outward to adjust the longitudinal alignment of each front wheel so that your front wheels will have the correct or true alignment.A worn adjuster sleeve will cause the tie rod to become loose, causing erratic and unsafe steering.Motorcraft Tie Rod Adjuster Sleeves are manufactured to exact Ford OE specifications and quality standards.
