Keep steering input sharp and precise with the Mevotech Supreme steering tie rod end MES2281R, a front outer tie rod end that installs as a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications: the 1989-1990 Ford Probe, 1983-1990 Mazda 626, 1988-1991 Mazda 929, and 1988-1990 Mazda MX-6.

The tie rod end links the steering linkage to the steering knuckle, transferring steering-wheel input to the front wheel while allowing the suspension to move through its travel. As the internal ball stud wears, you may notice loose or wandering steering, play in the wheel, uneven front tire wear, or a knocking sensation when turning — signs the tie rod end may need replacing.

  • Quick and easy installation: secures to the vehicle with the part-specific castle nut and cotter pin provided.
  • Simple to service: includes a 180-degree SAE grease fitting for easy lubrication.
  • Application-specific engineering: engineered in-house with upgrades intended to increase durability and performance for high-usage passenger and commercial vehicles, SUVs, fleets and working trucks.
  • Rigorous testing: validated with extensive in-house and third-party durability testing.

This listing is for one front outer tie rod end. Replacing the tie rod ends on both sides together is a good practice for balanced steering feel and even tire wear.
