Mevotech Supreme Steering Tie Rod End Adjusting Sleeve P/N:MDS1236S
Dial in your steering alignment with the Mevotech Supreme Tie Rod End Adjusting Sleeve MS40975, the threaded center link that joins the inner and outer tie rod ends and lets you set front-end toe. It drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 2005-2025 Ford F-250 Super Duty, 2005-2023 Ford F-350 Super Duty, and the 2017-2022 Ford F-450 Super Duty and F-550 Super Duty — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment on your specific truck.
This is the center-position adjusting sleeve in the steering linkage: rotating it lengthens or shortens the tie rod so toe can be brought back to spec after service or a linkage repair.
Worn or seized sleeves and clamps can make alignment difficult to hold or set; if a damaged adjusting sleeve is the cause, this replaces it and restores a serviceable, adjustable connection in the steering linkage.
What is a steering tie rod end adjusting sleeve and what does it do?
It is the threaded center link that joins the inner and outer tie rod ends. Rotating the sleeve lengthens or shortens the tie rod so front-end toe can be adjusted to specification.
Does the MS40975 fit my truck?
It is a direct-fit replacement for the 2005-2025 Ford F-250 Super Duty, 2005-2023 Ford F-350 Super Duty, and 2017-2022 Ford F-450 and F-550 Super Duty. Check the Buyer's Guide tab for your exact application.
Is mounting hardware included?
Yes. Mevotech's LaborSaver feature bundles the clamp hardware with the sleeve so you have what you need to save time at installation.
Where is this sleeve located in the steering system?
It sits in the center position of the steering linkage, threaded between the inner and outer tie rod ends.
Will an alignment be needed after installing this sleeve?
Yes. Because the sleeve sets tie rod length and toe, a professional wheel alignment should be performed after installation to bring the front end back to specification.
