Mevotech Supreme Steering Center Link P/N:MDS1172
Keep your steering tight and your tie rods tracking together with the Mevotech Supreme Steering Center Link MDS80943 — a direct-fit replacement for the front steering linkage of the 1998-2004 Nissan Frontier. If you're shopping for a Nissan Frontier center link because of loose, wandering steering or excess play in the linkage, this is the component that ties the system together.
The center link (also called the steering center link) is the central bar of a parallelogram steering system: it connects to the pitman arm and idler arm and transfers the driver's steering input across to the inner tie rod ends. When its joints wear, the result can be sloppy on-center feel, uneven tire wear, or clunking through the front steering — signs this part may need replacing.
See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full engine-level fitment details for your specific Frontier.
