Mevotech Supreme Steering Tie Rod End Adjusting Sleeve P/N:MES2012S
Keep your front-end alignment adjustable and on spec with the Mevotech Supreme Steering Tie Rod End Adjusting Sleeve MES3426S. It drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the front (front right) position on the 2000-2005 Ford Excursion, 1999-2025 Ford F-250 Super Duty, 1999-2023 Ford F-350 Super Duty, 1999-2004 Ford F-450 Super Duty, 1999-2004 Ford F-550 Super Duty, and 1999-2003 Ford F-53 Motorhome Chassis — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list of applications and engines.
The sleeve threads onto the inner and outer tie rod ends and turns in or out to set the effective tie-rod length, which is how front-wheel toe is dialed in during a wheel alignment.
If the original adjusting sleeve is seized or corroded and toe can no longer be set, replacing it with the MES3426S restores that adjustment on the listed applications. Cataloged for the front right position.
What does the Mevotech Supreme MES3426S adjusting sleeve do?
It connects the inner and outer tie rod ends and threads in or out to set the effective tie-rod length, which is how front-wheel toe is adjusted during a wheel alignment.
Is this also called a steering tie rod end adjusting sleeve?
Yes — this part is also listed as a steering tie rod end adjusting sleeve. Both names refer to the same MES3426S component.
Which vehicles does the MES3426S fit?
It's cataloged for the front position on the Ford Excursion, F-250, F-350, F-450, F-550 Super Duty, and F-53 Motorhome Chassis across the listed years. Check the Buyer's Guide tab for your exact year and engine.
Does it include mounting hardware?
Yes. Mevotech's LaborSaver feature bundles the hardware with the sleeve to save time during installation.
What are signs the adjusting sleeve may need replacing?
A seized or heavily corroded sleeve that won't turn to set toe, or an alignment that can't be adjusted. Diagnose the cause first, since other steering parts can also be involved.
