Keep steering response tight and play-free with the Mevotech Supreme steering tie rod end MDS1042, a front left inner tie rod end that installs as a direct-fit replacement for the 1984-1987 Ford Bronco II. A tie rod end links the steering system to the steering knuckle and lets the wheels pivot; its ball stud carries the load while allowing the joint to articulate, so a worn unit can show up as loose or wandering steering, a clunk or rattle when turning, or uneven tire wear — if the tie rod end is the cause, this replaces it.
Engineered in-house with application-specific upgrades, this Mevotech Supreme unit is built for high-usage commercial and passenger vehicles, SUVs, fleets and working trucks.
