Help keep steering input firmly connected to the front wheels with the Mevotech TTX Tie Rod End TXMS50778, a front inner linkage joint Mevotech builds for high-usage commercial and passenger vehicles, SUVs, fleets and working trucks. It is listed for many models, among them the 1999-2006 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, 1999-2006 GMC Sierra 1500 and 1999-2004 Chevrolet Silverado 2500. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list and engine details.

Mevotech engineers its TTX line with an emphasis on strength and durability. This steering tie rod end pairs an upgraded bearing with details intended to make installation quicker.

  • Upgraded bearing: an enhanced polymer bearing material, developed by Mevotech for improved durability beyond OE designs and aimed at smooth steering.
  • Larger sphere design: an application-specific ball stud system with a larger sphere.
  • Faster fit: longer wrench flats help speed installation, and a jam nut is included in the box.
  • Stronger bond: pre-applied Nylok thread adhesive helps keep fasteners secure and resist vibration.
  • Corrosion resistance: Repel-Tek surface treatment helps prevent rust buildup.

As part of the steering linkage, a tie rod end passes steering motion along to the wheels. Loose or wandering steering, a clunk when turning, excess play or uneven tire wear are signs this part may need replacing. Diagnose the cause before replacing any parts, and have the wheel alignment checked after installation.
