Mevotech Supreme Steering Tie Rod End Adjusting Sleeve P/N:MES3088S
Keep your front toe setting dialed in with the Mevotech Supreme Steering Tie Rod End Adjusting Sleeve (MES2016S). This sleeve threads between the inner and outer tie rod ends on the front steering linkage, letting a technician turn it to set toe alignment and then clamp the tie rod length in place. It's a direct-fit replacement for many Chrysler, Dodge and Plymouth models, including the 1977-1989 Dodge Diplomat and 1980-1983 Dodge Mirada — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list of applications.
A worn, corroded, or seized adjusting sleeve can make an alignment difficult to set or hold and may show up as wandering steering or uneven front tire wear. If the original sleeve is the cause, replacing it with MES2016S provides a fresh adjustment point — have the front end aligned after installation.
