{"product_id":"ball-joint-assembly-w-sintered-metal-bearing","title":"Ball Joint Assembly w\/ Sintered Metal Bearing","description":"The Mevotech tie rod end is an engineered steering component serving as the critical connection point between the steering linkage and the steering knuckle. The assembly includes an application-specific ball stud system that incorporates a larger sphere to optimize steering performance and handling precision.\n\nTechnicians benefit from the included Labor Saver design, which helps streamline installation by providing all required mounting hardware and a part-specific nylon locking nut. The unit arrives pre-greased and includes a 180-degree SAE grease fitting for straightforward maintenance. While pre-greased from the factory, periodic inspection and lubrication at every oil service interval are recommended to maintain integrity.\n\nThis tie rod end is designed for specific Ford and Lincoln platforms, including the 2012-2018 Ford Focus, 2013-2019 Ford Escape, 2013-2018 Ford C-Max, 2014-2019 Ford Transit Connect, and 2015-2019 Lincoln MKC. All components undergo extensive in-house and third-party durability testing to ensure they meet the rigorous demands of passenger vehicles and working trucks.","brand":"Mevotech","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52689078845752,"sku":"MS40628","price":35.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0970\/4895\/3144\/files\/687382307.jpg?v=1784901466","url":"https:\/\/store.motormia.co\/products\/ball-joint-assembly-w-sintered-metal-bearing","provider":"MOTORMIA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
