Front Steering Kit for 11-17 Ford & 13-15 Lincoln - 6 Piece

In this review of the TRQ front steering kit the bottom line is straightforward: this 6 piece, direct-fit replacement is aimed at owners of compatible Ford and Lincoln models who need a complete rack-and-pinon bellow and tie rod refresh without custom work. The kit assembles the common wear points - inner and outer tie rods plus the steering rack bellows - into one package, making it a sensible option for DIY mechanics or shops replacing multiple components at once. It balances fit and value while saving the time of sourcing parts individually.

Key Features

• Direct Fit: Fits the listed Ford and Lincoln models without modifications, which reduces installation time and alignment headaches.
• OE Replacement Kit: Designed to match original equipment geometry so steering response and rack travel remain consistent after installation.
• Complete 6 Piece Set: Includes two inner tie rods, two outer tie rods and two rack bellows so related wear items are addressed together for restored steering performance.
• Anti-Corrosion Coated: Enhanced surface protection helps the components resist rust for longer service life in wet or salted-road conditions.
• Vehicle Specific Fitment: Shipping with compatibility notes ensures buyers can check fitment for 2011-17 Ford Explorer, Police Interceptor models and select Lincoln and service vehicles before ordering.

Who It's For

This kit is best for owners of 2011-17 Ford Explorer variations, 2013-16 Ford Police Interceptor Utility, 2013-17 Police Interceptor Sedan, and 2013-15 Lincoln MKT without automated parking who need a coordinated steering repair and want parts that fit like OE. It suits DIY mechanics comfortable with front-end work and independent shops replacing multiple components at once.

Those who should look elsewhere include vehicles outside the listed fitment and buyers who require pre-greased or lifetime-lubricated aftermarket parts; this kit is prepped for installation but is not supplied pre-greased and its long-term durability can vary by driving conditions.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Good fit and finish that customers report slides over the rack easily, making installation quicker.
• Offers value by bundling inner and outer tie rods with bellows, avoiding multiple orders and mismatched parts.
• Anti-corrosion coating improves appearance and helps resist rust in exposed steering components.

Cons

• Some users report occasional durability concerns with tie rod longevity under heavy use, so expect variable life depending on driving conditions.
