Help keep steering tight and responsive with the Mevotech Supreme steering tie rod end (MEV402), a direct-fit front inner replacement for the 2002-2004 Jeep Liberty. The inner tie rod end links the steering linkage to the rest of the steering, transmitting your input to turn the front wheels while its ball stud pivots through suspension travel. If a worn or loose original tie rod end is behind steering play, wander, clunking, or uneven front tire wear, this part replaces it.
- Resists corrosion: a protective surface treatment helps guard against rust build-up for added longevity.
- Labor Saver design: additional installation hardware is included in the box to simplify the job.
- Premium materials: used across the components for longer part life.
- Rigorously tested: extensive in-house and third-party durability testing backs its strength.
Mevotech Supreme parts are engineered in-house with application-specific upgrades built for high-usage commercial and passenger vehicles, SUVs, fleets and working trucks. Have your alignment checked after installation.
