Keep your front wheel tracking true and steering input crisp with the Mevotech Supreme steering tie rod end (MES2217R). This front left outer tie rod end connects the outer steering linkage to the steering knuckle and is a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications; it fits many vehicles, among them the 1987-1996 Chevrolet Beretta, 1987-1996 Chevrolet Corsica and 1982-1994 Chevrolet Cavalier — see the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full vehicle list.
A tie rod end transfers steering input from the linkage to the steering knuckle, letting the front wheel turn while the suspension moves. These are common wear items; signs it may need replacing include loose or wandering steering, uneven front tire wear, and a knocking or clunking felt through the steering when the joint develops play. If a failed outer tie rod end is the cause, this replaces it. Set the front toe alignment per the vehicle service information after installation.
