Replace a worn joint in your steering linkage with the Mevotech Supreme steering tie rod end (MES409RT), a front outer tie rod end that ties the steering linkage to the knuckle and transmits your steering input to the front wheel. It is a direct-fit replacement for many vehicles, among them the 1975-1986 Chevrolet C10, 1973-1986 Chevrolet C10 Suburban and 1975-1986 Chevrolet C20. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.
Mevotech Supreme parts are engineered in-house with application-specific upgrades and built for high-usage commercial and passenger vehicles, SUVs, fleets and working trucks.
Common signs a tie rod end may need replacing include loose or wandering steering, play in the steering wheel, uneven front tire wear, and a knocking sound when turning or driving over bumps. If a worn tie rod end is the cause, this replaces it. Sold individually; replacing both sides together is recommended.
