Mevotech Supreme Steering Tie Rod End P/N:MS106139
Tighten up loose steering and keep the front wheels tracking straight with the Mevotech Supreme Steering Tie Rod End MS10613, a MEVOTECH tie rod that drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the front left outer position on the 2002-2003 Mini Cooper. A tie rod end links the steering linkage to the steering knuckle, passing steering input to the front wheel while allowing for suspension travel — so when it wears out, precise steering goes with it.
Mevotech Supreme parts are engineered in-house with application-specific upgrades, built for high-usage commercial and passenger vehicles, SUVs, fleets and working trucks.
Signs this front left outer tie rod end may need replacing include play or looseness in the steering, wandering, uneven or accelerated tire wear, and a clunk from the steering. Diagnose the cause before replacing. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine specifics on your Mini Cooper.

What does a steering tie rod end do?
It connects the steering linkage to the steering knuckle, transmitting steering input to the front wheel while allowing the suspension to move through its travel.
Do I need to replace the other side too?
This listing is for one front left outer unit. If the matching side is also worn, replacing both is good practice, and an alignment is recommended after any tie rod end service.
Could a worn tie rod end cause my Mini Cooper's loose steering?
A worn tie rod end can add play that shows up as loose or wandering steering and uneven tire wear. Have the steering diagnosed first, since other parts can cause the same symptoms.
