Restore tight, responsive steering with the Mevotech Supreme Steering Tie Rod End (MES3538) — a durable front outer replacement and a smart pick if you're shopping for a Ram 1500 tie rod. It installs as a direct-fit replacement on the 2002-2008 Dodge Ram 1500, 2003-2010 Dodge Ram 2500 and 2003-2010 Dodge Ram 3500, plus the 2003-2013 Ram 2500 and 2003-2012 Ram 3500; see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine specifics and the full application list.
A tie rod end links the outer steering linkage to the steering knuckle, transferring your steering input to the front wheel while its ball stud pivots through suspension travel. Worn units may show up as loose or wandering steering, play in the wheel, a knocking sensation when turning, or uneven front-tire wear — if a failed tie rod end is the cause, this replaces it.
- Superior toughness: sintered bearings for longer-lasting performance.
- Larger sphere design: an application-specific ball stud system with a larger sphere.
- Quick, easy installation: secures with the part-specific castle nut and cotter pin provided.
- Simple to service: includes a 180-degree SAE grease fitting.
Engineered in-house with application-specific upgrades and backed by extensive in-house and third-party durability testing, Mevotech Supreme tie rod ends are built for high-usage commercial and passenger vehicles, SUVs, fleets and working trucks.
