Mevotech Supreme Steering Tie Rod Bushing P/N:MK7423
Cushion the inner tie rod connection and help keep your steering linkage tight and controlled with the Mevotech Supreme Steering Tie Rod Bushing (MK6531). This front inner bushing drops in across a wide range of GM compacts and Saab sedans, including the 1987-1996 Chevrolet Beretta and Corsica, 1982-1994 Chevrolet Cavalier, 1982-1989 Buick Skyhawk, 1986-1998 Buick Skylark, 1985-1998 Pontiac Grand Am, 1992-1998 Oldsmobile Achieva, and the 1994-1998 Saab 900 — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list of applications.
Mounted at the front inner tie rod, this bushing isolates the steering linkage from road vibration and helps locate the tie rod so steering inputs track cleanly. Worn tie rod bushings can show up as steering-wheel play, vibration, or imprecise tracking; if a failed bushing is the cause, this replaces it. Diagnose the source of the symptom before replacing, since worn linkage or steering components can produce similar signs.
