Tighten up your steering and hold the front wheels in line with the Mevotech Supreme Steering Tie Rod End MES3218R, a MEVOTECH tie rod engineered as the FRONT RIGHT OUTER unit for heavy-duty International trucks. It connects the steering linkage to the wheel and transmits driver input to the wheel; a worn tie rod end can allow play that shows up as loose or wandering steering, uneven tire wear, or a clunk when turning. This steering tie rod end drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications, including the 1979-2003 International 2574 and 2674, the 1979-2002 International 2554, and the 1990-2002 International 4800 and 4900 — see the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list.
