Keep your steering linkage tight and responsive with the Mevotech Supreme steering tie rod end (MES3398), a front inner tie rod end that drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 1997-1999 Dodge Dakota and 1998-1999 Dodge Durango. As part of the steering linkage that turns the wheels, it transfers steering input while allowing the joint to pivot — if a worn tie rod end is behind play in the steering, uneven tire wear, or a loose, wandering feel, this replaces it.
- A stronger bond: pre-applied Nylok thread adhesive helps keep fasteners secure and vibration-resistant.
- Labor Savers added: additional hardware is included in the box to simplify installation.
- Premium materials: used on all components for longer part life.
- Rigorously tested: extensive in-house and third-party durability testing backs its strength and performance.
Mevotech Supreme parts are engineered in-house with application-specific upgrades built for high-usage commercial and passenger vehicles, SUVs, fleets and working trucks. This is a 1997-1999 Dodge Dakota tie rod that also fits the 1998-1999 Dodge Durango — see the "Vehicles it fits" section to confirm your vehicle.
