Detroit Axle - 4WD Front Outer Tie Rods for 2004-2008 F-150 Lincoln Mark LT, 4 Inner & Outer Tie Rods 2 Boots 2005 2006 2007 Replacement

Good parts, easy install, and I'm glad they included new boots because I had to cut the old ones off the old tie rods. I think my only complaint would be that the cotter pins they include to put in the nut seemed to be a big too big for the hole - but, it could've been me also.

The only problem is that the bar is to big if you don’t want to do some extra work don’t buy it. After remove it put them together and new ones where to long. I did cut them about 1”1/2 to make them work.

Absolutely what I needed.

The shaft of the inner tie rod is too long. When installed and turned in as far as it can go it still leaves the wheels toed out about 8 degrees both sides. I had to remove the inners and cut off 3/4 of an inch to make work. This is not how bolt on parts are supposed to be, I would not recommend them.

The parts fit Perfect.

Good price, and the parts fit well on an '06 F-150 2wd, except for the boot on the passenger side. The boots are both the same size, while the steering rack is smaller on the passenger side, resulting in a fold in the rubber which has the potential for dirt & water to get in, which defeats the purpose of the boot. Tie rod ends had grease fittings included. No problem with installing the cotter pin, except as always, had to further tighten one a bit in order to get the hole to line up with the castle nut. Only regret is not getting the 14 piece kit, since I ended up replacing pretty much everything on the front end anyway, including struts and control arms. The techs in three shops refused to troubleshoot a chronic tire wear problem (only on the outside shoulder, which destroys the tires in about 40k miles), as the alignment machine told them the alignment is correct. I could have saved about $500 and many hours if I had just replaced everything before taking it to get an alignment, since I couldn't get any useful help out of them. It is amazing how these clowns think the only things that affect front tire wear is inflation pressure and toe. (Camber is a wear factor, and is affected by weak springs / struts, which I now believe may have been the underlying cause, since the truck is now 2" higher in the front, without a lift kit.) The Ford trucks don't come with camber / caster adjustment kits from the factory. The MOOG K100070 kits are a must before taking one to an alignment shop after changing out parts. Those are far superior to the more expensive Ford kits, much less other aftermarket kits which all use stamped sheetmetal brackets with an elliptical washer and "D" shaped bolt. ***UPDATE: After only 3 years / 25K miles, the inner tie rod ends on both sides have noticeable slop. No noticeable tire wear at this point. -1 star

Price was good and also the quality. There was one minor issue, the inner tie rods were 1/2 inch to long on the threaded ends , they had to be shortened.

Perfect fit
