Mevotech engineers its Supreme line in-house, adding application-specific upgrades aimed at increased durability and performance. The line is built for high-usage commercial and passenger vehicles, SUVs, fleets and working trucks. Its Labor Saver™ designs, tools and hardware are intended to make installation faster and easier.
- Sintered metal strength: Sintered metal technology is designed to increase durability and extend service life.
- Simple to service: An SAE grease fitting comes included, so servicing is quick.
- Labor savers added: Extra hardware in the box helps simplify installation.
- Premium materials and rigorous testing: Premium materials are used on all components for longer part life. The design is checked through extensive in-house and third-party durability testing.
Signs a tie rod end may need replacing include loose or wandering steering, excess play at the steering wheel, clunking when turning, and uneven tire wear. Other steering and suspension parts can cause the same symptoms, so diagnose the cause before replacing. Have the front alignment checked after installation.
