The inner and outer Tie rod assembly connects the steering gear, in this case a rack and pinon unit, to the steering knuckle the wheels are mounted to.
This allows the driver to steer the car.
NO. An 86 Escort is a 1st generation Escort and a 93 Escort is a 2nd generation.
No it will not the 97 is a third generation and the 93 is a second generation Escort.
No they are different.
If you know nothing about front ends, you need to get the vehicle checked out ASAP by either a friend that knows about cars, or a good shop. Excessively worn tie rod ends & centerlinks have been known to come apart when you least expect them to.
No
It should be comparable of the 91 is a 2nd generation Escort.
steering components are probably all worn out. pitman/idler arm, tie rods, etc.
Yes, because they are both generation II Escorts.
if it is the motor splash guard it attaches to the inner fender well on the passenger side and protects the front of the motor where the harmonic balancer and belts are
Yes, it will.
If you look at the inner tie rod you will see that it is connected to the vehicle in two places. You can see how to disconnect it from the wheel with just a bolt I believe. Then there is a boot on it. If you carefully (try not to break the boot) pull the boot forward on the tie rod (towards the wheel) you will unveil another bolt that connects it. Also, if you buy the part and look at it, it is very self explanatory.
No They are 2nd generation and 3rd generation respectively.
