Description

Keep your front-end toe adjustable with the Mevotech Supreme Tie Rod End Adjusting Sleeve (MES3498S). This front left sleeve threads between the inner and outer tie rod ends so a technician can set the tie-rod length that dials in front-wheel toe during an alignment. It installs as a direct-fit replacement for the front left position on these listed applications: 1998-1999 Dodge Ram 2500, 1998-1999 Dodge Ram 3500, and 1998-1999 Ram 3500 — see the "Vehicles it fits" section for engine-level details.

Corrosion-resistant surface treatment: helps resist rust buildup on the sleeve.
LaborSaver feature: ships with bundled hardware to help save time on the install.
Adjustable design: lets you change the effective tie-rod length to set front toe when aligning the vehicle.
Front left application: cataloged for the front left position on the listed trucks.

The adjusting sleeve is what lets the tie rod be lengthened or shortened during a wheel alignment. Signs the original may need replacing include seized or corroded threads that won't turn, difficulty holding a toe setting, or visible damage to the sleeve and its clamps. Diagnose the steering linkage first; if the sleeve is the worn component, this replaces it.
