Mevotech Supreme Steering Tie Rod End Adjusting Sleeve P/N:MES3498S
Dial in your front-end alignment and keep the steering linkage tight with the Mevotech Supreme Steering Tie Rod End Adjusting Sleeve (MDS1453S). This adjusting sleeve threads between the inner and outer tie rod ends, letting you set toe and take up wear so the wheels track straight. It's cataloged for the FRONT RIGHT position on the 1999-2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment.
Signs the original sleeve may need attention include seized or corroded threads that won't turn during an alignment, uneven or accelerated tire wear, and loose or vague steering. If a worn or rusted adjusting sleeve is the cause, this Mevotech Supreme unit replaces it as a direct-fit part for the listed applications. Confirm fitment for your vehicle, and have a professional set the alignment after installation for even tire wear.
