Installation Notes
Compatible With 1980-1985 Ford F-250, left inner, and 1980-1985 Ford F-350, front left inner. Verify the steering position before installation and confirm the threaded stud, castle nut, and cotter pin interface match the original hardware layout. Because this is a non-adjustable tie rod end, alignment should be checked after steering service. Search terms such as Ford F-250 tie rod end replacement, Ford F-350 front left inner steering end, and Mevotech GDS1002 fitment can help confirm application details.
