WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Mercury Mariner and 2008 Ford Escape. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The steering linkage consists of the following components:
- Inner tie-rod end
- Steering gear
- Outer tie-rod end
- Steering gear boot
- Front wheel knuckle
The inner and outer tie rods connect the steering gear to the front wheel knuckles. The tie rods are lubricated for life and do not contain grease fittings. The steering linkage is adjustable at the 2 tie-rod ends.
