Keep steering tight and precise with the Mevotech Supreme steering tie rod end (MES3654), a front outer unit that drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 2005-2010 Scion tC and 2001-2005 Toyota RAV4. It links the steering linkage to the knuckle and transmits your steering input to turn the front wheels while allowing for normal suspension and steering movement.
Mevotech Supreme parts are engineered in-house with application-specific upgrades aimed at added durability, and this line is built for high-usage passenger vehicles, SUVs, fleets and working trucks.
- Resists corrosion: a protective surface treatment helps guard against rust build-up for longer service life.

- Premium materials: quality components are used throughout for longer part life.
- Rigorously tested: extensive in-house and third-party durability testing backs its strength.
If a worn tie rod end is behind loose or wandering steering, a clunk when turning, or uneven front tire wear, this replaces it. Sold individually; replacing both front outer tie rod ends together is recommended, and align the vehicle after installation.
