Steer with confidence using the Mevotech Supreme steering tie rod end (MES2161R) — the front outer link that transmits your steering input to the front wheel and pivots on a ball stud as the suspension moves through its travel. It drops in as a replacement for a long list of classic Volvos, including the 1975-1989 244 and 245, 1975-1984 242, 1976-1981 262 and 265, 1976-1982 264, 1990-1993 240, 1985-1992 740, 1983-1990 760, 1987-1991 780, 1991-1995 940, 1992-1997 960, and 1997-1998 S90 and V90 — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.
- Simple to service: includes a 180-degree SAE grease fitting so relubrication is quick.
- A faster fit: comes with the part-specific nylon locking nut to speed installation.
- Application-specific engineering: designed in-house with upgrades for high-usage passenger vehicles, SUVs, fleets and working trucks.
- Rigorous testing: validated through extensive in-house and third-party durability testing.
Play in a worn tie rod end can show up as loose or wandering steering, imprecise response, a clunk over bumps, or uneven front tire wear. If a failed front outer tie rod end is the cause, this unit replaces it. Tie rod ends work as a matched left/right pair, so inspect both sides and replace together when needed for balanced steering.
