MOOG 01-07 Ford Escape Front Inner / Inner Tie Rod End

When you're working on the steering system for your 2001-2007 Ford Escape, the inner tie rod end is a critical component. This part connects the steering rack to the steering knuckle, and if it's worn out, you'll notice looseness in the steering wheel, imprecise handling, or even clunking noises. Moog's EV424 inner tie rod end is built to restore that direct feel and reliable control to your steering.

Moog engineers heat-treat the ball stud on this tie rod end to meet or exceed original equipment requirements. This process helps prevent premature wear and increases its resistance to fatigue, meaning it should hold up well over time. They also include a pre-applied thread locking compound, which not only makes installation a bit quicker by eliminating a step but also helps keep the tie rod end from loosening up on its own. Plus, you'll find wrench flats on both the housing and the stud, giving you solid points to grip for easier installation and alignment adjustments.

This tie rod end is designed to fit your Ford Escape directly, and Moog offers comprehensive coverage for many vehicles, so you know they have experience with these types of parts.
