Keep every steering input tight and connected with the Mevotech Supreme steering tie rod end (MES800042), the front right outer tie rod end that links the steering linkage to the steering knuckle and transmits steering-wheel motion to turn the wheel. It drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 2003-2009 Kia Sorento — see the "Vehicles it fits" section for engine-level fitment.
Mevotech Supreme tie rod ends are built for high-usage passenger vehicles, SUVs, fleets and working trucks. Play, wandering or loose steering, clunking from the front, and uneven or accelerated tire wear can be signs that a worn tie rod end may need replacing; if a failed tie rod end is the cause, this replaces the front right outer unit.
