Help keep steering response crisp and front-tire wear even with the Mevotech Supreme steering tie rod end MES3553, a direct-fit front right outer replacement for the 2001-2003 Toyota Prius. This tie rod end links the steering linkage to the steering knuckle, transmitting steering input to the front wheel while allowing for toe adjustment. If a worn, loose tie rod end is behind imprecise steering or uneven tire wear, this replaces it.
Mevotech Supreme parts are engineered in-house with application-specific upgrades aimed at high-usage commercial and passenger vehicles, SUVs, fleets and working trucks.
