MOOG 05-07 Ford Five Hundred Front Inner / Inner Tie Rod End

If you're working on the steering system for a 2005-2007 Ford Five Hundred, Mercury Montego, or Ford Freestyle, this MOOG inner tie rod end is a solid choice. It connects your steering rack to the steering knuckle, allowing you to turn the wheels. MOOG has built this part with a gusher bearing design, which means it has a metal-to-metal contact point that lets grease flow through. This helps reduce friction and can lead to a longer lifespan for the part.

The ball stud is heat-treated to meet or exceed original equipment specs, which helps prevent premature failure and improves its strength under stress. You'll also find a Belleville preload washer that helps absorb impacts and prevent issues during shock loads. MOOG also includes a thread-locking compound already applied to the threads, making installation a bit quicker and helping to ensure the tie rod stays put. Wrench flats on both the housing and the stud make adjustments and installation easier.

This tie rod end is part of MOOG's comprehensive coverage, meaning it's available for a wide range of domestic and foreign vehicles. You'll find it fits a variety of Ford and Mercury models from the mid-2000s through the late 2000s.
