Description

Help tighten up loose steering with the Mevotech Supreme steering tie rod end (MES2078LT) — the front left outer link that connects the steering linkage to the steering knuckle so the front wheels turn together. It fits many vehicles, among them the 1980-1996 Ford F-150, 1980-1997 Ford F-250 and 1983-1992 Ford Ranger, as a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.

Application-specific engineering: Mevotech Supreme parts are engineered in-house with application-specific upgrades aimed at greater durability and performance on high-usage commercial and passenger vehicles, SUVs, fleets and working trucks.
Quick, easy installation: secures to the vehicle with the part-specific castle nut and cotter pin provided, and Labor Saver designs help speed the job.
Simple to service: includes a 180-degree SAE grease fitting for easy chassis lubrication.
Premium materials, rigorously tested: premium materials are used on all components for longer part life, backed by extensive in-house and third-party durability testing.

Signs a tie rod end may need replacing include loose or wandering steering, uneven or feathered tire wear, and a clunk from the front end when turning or crossing bumps. If a worn front left outer tie rod end is the cause, replacing it with MES2078LT is designed to provide a solid steering connection again. Have the front end aligned after installation.

What are the signs of a worn tie rod end?

Loose or wandering steering, uneven or feathered tire wear, and a clunk when turning or going over bumps. Diagnose the cause before replacing, as these symptoms can have other sources.
