Keep steering tight and responsive with the Mevotech Supreme steering tie rod end (MES2827RL), a front outer tie rod end that links the outer steering linkage to the steering knuckle and transmits your steering input to the front wheel. It drops in as a direct-fit replacement on many vehicles, among them the 1988-1993 Ford Festiva, 1991-1994 Mercury Capri and 1986-1989 Mazda 323. If a worn tie rod end is behind loose, wandering steering or uneven front tire wear, this replaces it.
- Quick, easy installation: includes a part-specific castle nut and cotter pin to secure the joint to the vehicle.
- Simple to service: a 180-degree SAE grease fitting is included so you can re-lubricate the joint in place.
- Application-specific engineering: engineered in-house with application-specific upgrades and built for high-usage commercial and passenger vehicles, SUVs, fleets and working trucks.
- Premium materials, rigorously tested: premium materials on all components for longer part life, backed by extensive in-house and third-party durability testing.
This front outer unit is sold individually, and replacing both sides together is recommended. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list of vehicles it fits.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this the right Mazda 323 tie rod end for a 1986-1989 Mazda 323?
Yes, it's listed for the 1986-1989 Mazda 323. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for every vehicle it fits.
What position does MES2827RL install in?
It's a front outer tie rod end, linking the outer steering linkage to the steering knuckle and transmitting steering input to the front wheel.
Does it include mounting hardware?
Yes. A part-specific castle nut and cotter pin are provided to secure the joint, along with a 180-degree SAE grease fitting for servicing.
What are signs a tie rod end may need replacing?
Loose or wandering steering, a clunk or play in the steering, uneven or feathered front tire wear, and steering-wheel vibration can all be signs a tie rod end may be worn.
Should I replace both sides at once?
Tie rod ends are sold individually. Because both sides wear at a similar rate, replacing the left and right together helps keep steering even and balanced.
