Keep your steering tight and responsive with the Mevotech Supreme steering tie rod end MES317L, a FRONT OUTER tie rod end that links the steering linkage to the knuckle and transmits your steering input to the front wheel while allowing normal steering and suspension movement. It installs as a direct-fit replacement for the 1960-1965 Ford Falcon, 1961-1965 Ford Falcon Sedan Delivery, 1964-1966 Ford Mustang, 1960-1965 Ford Ranchero, 1960-1965 Mercury Comet, and the 1962 Mercury Villager — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level details.
Engineered in-house by Mevotech with application-specific upgrades, it's built for high-usage commercial and passenger vehicles, SUVs, fleets and working trucks.
If a worn tie rod end is the cause of loose, wandering steering or uneven front-tire wear on your Mustang tie rod, this front outer unit replaces it and re-establishes a tight connection in the steering linkage. Premium materials are used across the components for longer part life.
