Mevotech Supreme Steering Center Link P/N:MDS80593

Keep steering inputs traveling cleanly from the pitman arm across to the idler arm with the Mevotech Supreme Steering Center Link (MDS80593) — a direct-fit Xterra center link for the 2000-2004 Nissan Xterra and the 1999-2004 Nissan Frontier. As the central bar in the front parallelogram steering linkage, it ties the pitman and idler arms together and anchors the inner tie rods, so wheel movement follows the driver's hand at the steering box.

• Corrosion-resistant surface treatment: helps resist rust buildup on the linkage.
• Front steering linkage: the central connecting bar in the vehicle's front parallelogram steering system.
• Direct fit: a bolt-in replacement for the listed Frontier and Xterra applications.

Signs the original may be worn include loose or wandering steering, excess play at the wheel, and uneven front tire wear. If a worn center link is the cause of those symptoms, replacing it with the MDS80593 re-establishes the connection between the steering arms — always diagnose the linkage before ordering, since play can come from tie rods, the idler arm, or other joints as well.

Fitment: 1999-2004 Nissan Frontier · 2000-2004 Nissan Xterra. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level details.
