Keep your front-wheel steering tight and responsive with the Mevotech Supreme steering tie rod end MES3388, a front outer replacement engineered in-house with application-specific upgrades for increased durability and performance. It installs as a direct-fit replacement for the 1994-1997 Ford Aspire and 2001-2005 Kia Rio.

The tie rod end links the steering linkage to the steering knuckle at the front outer position, transmitting steering input to the front wheel while allowing for suspension travel. A worn unit can show up as loose or wandering steering, play in the linkage, clunking when turning, or uneven front-tire wear — if a failed tie rod end is the cause, this replaces it.

  • Quick, easy installation: secures to the vehicle with the part-specific castle nut and cotter pin provided.
  • Consistent performance: rigorous quality-control protocols support consistent part performance.
  • Precise engineering: innovated inside and out for durability and easier installation.
  • Premium materials: used throughout the components for longer part life.
