Product Description

This steering tie rod end is a direct OE replacement for select Mazda B2000 and Ford Courier trucks, including Dorman 542-876 applications. The steel housing uses a powder-coated black finish for added surface protection, and the standard replacement design follows the original steering layout for the front outer position. This part cross-references Mevotech Original Grade GES2073L and Mevotech Supreme MES2073L for the same application.

Common Steering Issues It Can Address

• Loose or imprecise steering feel at the front wheels
• Clunking or play from worn outer tie rod components
• Uneven tire wear caused by steering linkage wear
• Steering pull related to excessive tie rod end movement
• Restoring proper front outer steering linkage geometry

Installation Notes and Quality Assurance

Install on the front outer steering position only for the listed applications. Verify alignment after replacement, since tie rod service affects toe settings. Dorman 542-876 is backed by Dorman’s industry-leading evaluation process for fit and operation on the specified vehicles.
