Keep steering feeling tight and connected with the Mevotech Supreme Steering Tie Rod End (MES3493T). A tie rod end links the steering linkage to the steering knuckle, passing steering input to the wheel and helping hold the front wheels in their set position. It drops in as a direct-fit replacement for a wide range of 1999–2007 GM full-size trucks and SUVs, including the Chevrolet Silverado 1500, Silverado 2500, Suburban 1500/2500, Tahoe and Avalanche 1500, GMC Sierra 1500, Yukon and Yukon XL 1500/2500, and Cadillac Escalade, ESV and EXT — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the complete list.
Signs a tie rod end may need replacing include loose or wandering steering, uneven front tire wear, or play and clunking in the steering; diagnose the cause first, and if a worn tie rod end is behind it, this replaces it. Each listed application uses two. Sold individually — order two and replace both sides together as a matched pair for balanced steering. Country of origin: Malaysia. Manufacturer part number MES3493T.
