Keep your steering tight and your front tires tracking straight with the Mevotech Supreme steering tie rod end MES381RL, a front outer tie rod end that links the steering linkage to the steering knuckle to transmit driver input to the front wheels. It installs as a direct-fit replacement on many vehicles, among them the 1968-1969 Chevrolet Camaro, 1970-1974 Chevrolet Nova and 1968 Chevrolet Chevy II — see the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list and engine-level fitment.
- Sintered metal strength: sintered metal technology is used to increase durability and extend service life.
- Simple to service: an SAE grease fitting is included so the joint can be re-greased in service.
- Labor Savers added: additional hardware is included in the box to simplify installation.
- Rigorous testing: extensive in-house and third-party durability testing backs its strength.
Signs your original tie rod end may need replacing include loose or wandering steering, a clunk or knock when turning, play in the steering wheel, and uneven or accelerated front tire wear. If a worn front outer tie rod end is the cause, this replacement renews a tight connection in the steering linkage.
