Keep your steering crisp and the front wheels tracking true with the Mevotech Supreme steering tie rod end MES3251RL — a front outer tie rod end that connects the steering linkage to the steering knuckle and transfers steering input to the front wheel while allowing for suspension and steering movement. It installs as a direct-fit replacement on many vehicles, among them the 1990-1998 Mazda Protege, 1992-1996 Mazda MX-3 and 1993-1995 Mazda RX-7 (see the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list).
Signs the original may be worn include loose or wandering steering, a knocking noise when turning, play felt at the steering wheel, and uneven tire wear. If a failed front outer tie rod end is the cause, this replaces it.
