Keep your steering tight and responsive with the Mevotech Supreme steering tie rod end (MES3404), a direct-fit front outer replacement for the 1990-1996 Infiniti Q45 and 1990-1996 Nissan 300ZX. This tie rod end links the steering system to the wheel, transmitting steering input while allowing the suspension to move — worn units show up as loose or wandering steering, uneven front tire wear, and clunking or play when turning.
- Application-specific engineering: Mevotech Supreme parts are engineered in-house with upgrades aimed at increased durability, built for high-usage commercial and passenger vehicles, SUVs, fleets and working trucks.
- Quick, easy installation: Labor Saver™ designs secure the ball joint to the vehicle with a part-specific castle nut and cotter pin provided.
- Consistent performance: Rigorous quality-control protocols are used to deliver consistent part performance.
- Rigorous testing: Extensive in-house and third-party durability testing backs the part's strength.
If a worn outer tie rod end is the cause of play or alignment issues on your 1990-1996 Nissan 300ZX or 1990-1996 Infiniti Q45, this replaces it. Replacing both sides together is recommended, and have the alignment set afterward to help keep tire wear even.
