It is a direct-fit replacement for applications such as 1995-2002 Ford Crown Victoria, front; 1995-2002 Ford Grand Marquis, front; 1995-2002 Lincoln Town Car, front; and 1995-2002 Mercury Grand Marquis, front.

What This Part Helps Address

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify thread direction, thread diameter, and end dimensions before installation. This sleeve is a left-hand thread design, so it must be matched to the correct side of the steering linkage.
