Mevotech Supreme Steering Tie Rod End Adjusting Sleeve P/N:MS25657
Dial in precise front-end toe with the Mevotech Supreme Steering Tie Rod End Adjusting Sleeve (MES3679S), a direct-fit replacement for the 1995-2002 Kia Sportage. This front steering-linkage sleeve threads between the inner and outer tie rod ends, letting a technician lengthen or shorten the linkage to set toe during a front wheel alignment. Worn or seized sleeves that resist adjustment or show damaged threads are common signs this part may need replacing.
Cataloged as a steering tie rod end adjusting sleeve, it should be installed and the front toe reset by a qualified technician so alignment specs are restored after service.
