Dorman 541-433 uses a steel body, 29.1 mm steering shaft diameter, 16 mm center link end attachment diameter, and 1.50 pitch at the center link end for the listed applications. The pre-greased, polymer-bearing design and polychloroprene boot help support smooth operation, while the E-coated black finish adds protection against wear and corrosion. This part cross-references MOOG Chassis Products K8700 for the same application.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eVehicle Fitment\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFits 2004 Ford F-150 Heritage, N\/A\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFits 1997-2003 Ford F-150, N\/A\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFits 1997-2002 Ford Expedition, N\/A\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFits 2002 Lincoln Blackwood, N\/A\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFits 1998-2002 Lincoln Navigator, N\/A\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFits 1997-1999 Ford F-250, N\/A\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCommon Issues This Part May Solve\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLoose or delayed steering response from a worn pitman arm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSteering play caused by spline or taper wear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFront-end wandering linked to steering linkage wear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNoisy or unstable steering operation from damaged steering components\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCorrosion-related replacement needs on the steering gear linkage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInstallation Notes and Tips\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eVerify spline count, shaft diameter, and center link attachment dimensions before installation.
