Tighten up loose, wandering steering with the Mevotech Supreme steering tie rod end (MES2472L), a front outer replacement that drops right into the 1980-1986 Nissan 720. A tie rod end links the steering linkage to the steering knuckle, transmitting your steering input to the front wheel while letting the suspension and steering move — a worn one is a common source of play, a wandering feel, clunking on turns, and uneven front tire wear.
Mevotech Supreme parts are engineered in-house with application-specific upgrades aimed at added durability, and are built for high-usage commercial and passenger vehicles, SUVs, fleets and working trucks.
