Mevotech designs its TTX line 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.

• Maximum toughness: patented sintered bearings are designed for longer-lasting performance.
• Locks out contaminants: a patented sealing ring locks the boot onto the ball joint housing to help keep contaminants out.
• Quick install, simple service: a part-specific slotted castle nut and easy-snap cotter pin are provided to secure the ball joint to the vehicle. A 180-degree SAE grease fitting is included for servicing.
• A stronger bond: pre-applied Nylok thread adhesive helps keep fasteners secure and vibration resistant.

A worn steering tie rod end may show up as loose or wandering steering, clunking when turning, excess play in the steering wheel or uneven tire wear. Inspect the steering system to confirm the cause before replacing. Have the alignment checked after installation.
