The Mevotech Supreme steering tie rod end (MEV298) is a front inner tie rod end that links the steering system to the front wheel, transmitting steering input to turn the wheels while allowing for normal suspension movement. It drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 1985-1989 Merkur XR4TI — see the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm the engine and application for your vehicle.
Mevotech Supreme parts are engineered in-house with application-specific upgrades, built for high-usage commercial and passenger vehicles, SUVs, fleets and working trucks.
- Resists corrosion: a protective surface treatment helps prevent rust build-up.
- Labor Saver hardware: additional installation hardware is included in the box to simplify the install.
- Precise engineering, premium materials: innovated inside and out, using premium materials on all components for longer part life.
- Rigorous testing: extensive in-house and third-party durability testing.
Signs a worn tie rod end may need replacing include loose or wandering steering, excessive play in the steering, uneven or rapid tire wear, and clunking or knocking when turning. If a failed tie rod end is the cause, this unit replaces it.
