This video shows you how to install new outer tie rods from TRQ on your 2008-2011 Ford Focus.
Outer tie rods, sometimes referred to as “tie rod ends,” connect the steering rack to the steering knuckle. Their joints can wear out over time, causing loose steering, vibrations, and uneven tire wear. They are also a common failure point in localities with safety inspections.
Estimated installation time for a professional technician is approximately: 1 hour 48 minutes
