Ferrari 985334829

The FST 2WD LH is an essential component for your Maserati, ensuring precise steering response and durability. Here’s how to replace it and maintain your vehicle’s legendary performance. Precision Engineering for Maserati Dynamics The FST 2WD LH (SKU: fe-985334829) serves as a critical element in your Maserati’s suspension and steering system. Designed to withstand high-speed cornering and uneven terrain, this left-hand tie rod integrates seamlessly with models like the Ghibli, Quattroporte, and GranTurismo. Crafted from aerospace-grade alloy, it reduces unsprung weight while enhancing durability—a hallmark of Maserati’s racing heritage. Proper installation ensures alignment within ±0.1 degrees, preserving the sharp handling characteristics expected from a trident-badged vehicle. Why This Part Defines Driving Excellence The FST 2WD LH directly impacts your Maserati’s steering precision and tire wear patterns. A worn tie rod can cause 5-7% increased tread degradation and 1.5° of toe misalignment, compromising both safety and performance. Symptoms of failure include uneven steering resistance and subtle vibrations at 55-75 mph. Replacing it promptly prevents cascading damage to the rack-and-pinion system, which can cost up to $3,200 to rebuild. For models produced between 2012-2020, we recommend inspection every 25,000 miles or after aggressive track use.
