Mevotech Supreme Steering Tie Rod End P/N:MS30612
Keep steering input moving from the linkage to the front wheels with the Mevotech Supreme steering tie rod end MES2034RLT, a front inner tie rod end that installs as a direct-fit replacement across a long list of GM cars and compact trucks — including the 1978-1983 Chevrolet Malibu, 1978-1988 Chevrolet Monte Carlo, 1982-1995 Chevrolet S10, 1978-1987 Buick Regal, 1978-1987 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme and 1978-1987 Pontiac Grand Prix. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list of applications.
The tie rod end links the steering linkage to the knuckle and transfers steering motion to the wheel while its pivoting stud allows for suspension travel. When the joint wears, play develops that can show up as loose or wandering steering, uneven tire wear, or a clunk from the front end — if a worn tie rod end is the cause, this replaces it.
