The Meritor E-9967 or E9967 tie rod end is a Type 4, curbside style end with a right-hand rod thread. The rod thread is 1.00 in. in diameter at 16 threads per inch, the stud thread is 0.875 in. at 14 threads per inch, and the stud center sits 3.12 in. from the rod end. The taper measures 0.967 in. at the small end and 1.10 in. at the large end, over a 1.08 in. taper length.
The end is the pivoting joint that links the steering linkage to the knuckle, so it turns steering input into a change in wheel direction. A worn one shows up as play at the steering wheel, a pull to one side, vibration, or uneven wear across the front tires. A genuine Meritor part from Pro Gear and Transmission.
