Tie the steering linkage back to the front wheel with the Mevotech Supreme steering tie rod end (MES3655), a direct-fit front outer replacement for the 2005-2010 Scion tC and 2001-2005 Toyota RAV4. A tie rod end connects the outer steering linkage to the steering knuckle, transmitting steering input to the front wheel while allowing the suspension to move through its travel. Signs a tie rod end may need replacing include play or looseness in the joint, a clunk over bumps, wandering steering, or uneven tire wear — if a worn tie rod end is the cause, this replaces it. A popular RAV4 tie rod service part, MES3655 is engineered in-house with application-specific upgrades.
- Resists corrosion: a protective surface treatment helps prevent rust build-up.
- Labor Savers added: additional installation hardware is included in the box to simplify the job.
- Precise engineering & rigorous testing: in-house and third-party durability testing back the design.
- Premium materials: used on all components for longer part life.
The catalog lists this in the front left outer and front right outer positions. Sold individually — order two to replace both front sides together for balanced steering.
