Mevotech Supreme Steering Tie Rod End P/N:MS76700
Tie into tight, responsive handling with the Mevotech Supreme steering tie rod end (MES3317), a front outer tie rod end that links the outer steering linkage to the steering knuckle and transmits your steering input to the front wheel. It installs as a direct-fit replacement across the listed applications, including the 2004-2008 Chrysler Crossfire, 1998-2004 Mercedes-Benz SLK230, and 1994-2000 Mercedes-Benz C280 — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.
As the outer joint in the steering linkage, a worn tie rod end can show up as loose or wandering steering, uneven or feathered front tire wear, and a knock or clunk when turning. If a failed front outer tie rod end is the cause of those signs, this unit replaces it — diagnose the linkage first, since play can also come from other steering or suspension parts.
What does the Mevotech MES3317 tie rod end do?
It is the front outer joint that connects the outer steering linkage to the steering knuckle, transmitting your steering input to the front wheel while allowing for suspension movement.
Which vehicles does MES3317 fit?
It is a direct-fit front outer replacement for listed applications such as the 2004-2008 Chrysler Crossfire, 1998-2004 Mercedes-Benz SLK230, and 1994-2000 Mercedes-Benz C280. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.
What are signs a tie rod end may need replacing?
Loose or wandering steering, uneven or feathered front tire wear, and a knock or clunk when turning can point to a worn tie rod end. Have the steering diagnosed, since other parts can cause the same symptoms.
Is mounting hardware included?
Yes. It comes with the part-specific nylon locking nut from Mevotech's Labor Saver design to help speed up the installation.
Should I replace both tie rod ends at once?
It is good practice to inspect the opposite side and replace both together for balanced, even steering, though this listing is for the single unit shown.
