Mevotech Supreme Steering Tie Rod End P/N:MES2139R
Help keep your steering tight and your front tires tracking straight with the Mevotech Supreme Steering Tie Rod End MES3497 — a direct-fit tie rod end for the front inner and front left outer positions on the listed applications. It fits many vehicles, among them the 1998-1999 Dodge Ram 1500, 1998-1999 Ram 2500 and 1998-1999 Dodge Ram 2500; see the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list. A tie rod end links the steering system to the wheel, transferring steering input and helping set toe alignment; when the ball stud wears it can cause play, clunks, wandering steering and uneven tire wear. If a worn tie rod end is the cause, this replaces it.
The Mevotech Supreme tie rod end line is built for high-usage commercial and passenger vehicles, SUVs, fleets and working trucks. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for engine-level fitment.
