Mevotech Supreme Steering Tie Rod End P/N:MS10679
Restore tight, responsive steering with the Mevotech Supreme steering tie rod end (MES62L), a direct-fit replacement for a long list of classic Jeep and Willys models — including the 1959-1983 Jeep CJ5, 1959-1975 CJ6 and 1976-1986 CJ7. A tie rod end links the steering linkage to the wheel and lets the joint articulate as the suspension moves, transmitting steering input to turn the wheels. This MES62L is cataloged for inner and outer steering-linkage positions depending on the application, so confirm your exact position in the Buyer's Guide.
Engineered in-house with application-specific upgrades, Mevotech Supreme tie rod ends are built for high-usage commercial and passenger vehicles, SUVs, fleets and working trucks. Loose or wandering steering, excess play, a clunk from the steering linkage, or uneven front-tire wear can be signs a tie rod end may need replacing; if a worn tie rod end is the cause, this replaces it. It covers dozens of vintage applications — from the Jeep CJ5 tie rod end job to the CJ7 tie rod swap — so see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.
