Mevotech engineers its Supreme parts in-house, with application-specific upgrades aimed at added durability and performance. Supreme tie rod ends are built for high-usage commercial and passenger vehicles, SUVs, fleets and working trucks. Mevotech's Labor Saver™ designs, tools and hardware are intended to make installation faster and easier.
As part of the steering linkage, an inner tie rod end carries steering motion toward the wheel while letting the linkage pivot as the suspension moves. Signs it may need replacing include loose or wandering steering, extra play at the steering wheel, a clunk when turning, or uneven tire wear. Other steering and suspension parts can cause these symptoms too, so diagnose the cause before replacing. Have the wheel alignment checked after installation.
