Keep steering tight and responsive with the Mevotech Supreme steering tie rod end (MES3197RL), a front outer tie rod end that links the steering linkage to the steering knuckle and transmits your steering input to the front wheel. It's a direct-fit replacement for many vehicles, among them the 1993-1997 Ford Probe, 2000-2006 Mazda MPV and 1999-2003 Mazda Protege — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list and engine-level fitment.

  • Superior toughness: patented sintered bearings for longer-lasting performance.
  • Larger sphere design: an application-specific ball stud system with a larger sphere.
  • Simple to service: includes a 180-degree SAE grease fitting.
  • Quick installation: comes with a part-specific castle nut and cotter pin.

Mevotech Supreme parts are engineered in-house with application-specific upgrades for added durability, and this tie rod end is built for high-usage commercial and passenger vehicles, SUVs, fleets and working trucks. Extensive in-house and third-party durability testing backs its strength. If a worn tie rod end is behind loose or wandering steering, a clunk when turning, or uneven front tire wear, this part is designed to replace it and re-establish the connection in the steering linkage.
