Mevotech Supreme Steering Tie Rod End Adjusting Sleeve P/N:MDS1453S
Keep the front wheels pointed true with the Mevotech Supreme Steering Tie Rod End Adjusting Sleeve (MES350S). This front adjusting sleeve threads between the inner and outer tie rod ends, letting a technician change the effective tie-rod length to set toe during a wheel alignment. It installs as a direct-fit replacement for a wide list of classic GM applications, including the 1965-1970 Chevrolet Bel Air, 1967-1969 Chevrolet Camaro, 1970-1974 Chevrolet Nova, 1966-1970 Chevrolet Caprice, 1967-1970 GMC C15/C1500 Pickup, 1968 Pontiac Firebird and 1973-1974 Buick Apollo — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list of 41 applications.
Over years of service the threads or clamp hardware on an original sleeve can corrode or seize, which can make setting toe difficult and let alignment drift. If a worn or seized sleeve is the cause of those issues, this replaces it. Have the front end inspected and aligned by a qualified technician after installation.
