Tighten up loose, wandering steering with the Mevotech Supreme steering tie rod end (MEV382), a front inner tie rod end that serves as a direct-fit replacement for the 1994-1997 Ford Aspire. Mevotech Supreme parts are engineered in-house with application-specific upgrades intended to boost durability, and this unit is built for high-usage passenger, fleet and working vehicles.
The tie rod end links the steering linkage to the wheel, transferring steering input while allowing for movement. If a worn tie rod end is behind your steering slop or uneven tire wear, this replaces it.
