Mevotech Supreme Steering Tie Rod End P/N:MS10754
Keep your steering tight and responsive with the Mevotech Supreme steering tie rod end (MEV154), a front inner tie rod end that installs as a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications. It fits many vehicles, among them the 1980-1984 Volkswagen Jetta, 1985-1990 Volkswagen Cabriolet and 1975-1989 Volkswagen Scirocco; see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list and engine-level details.
The inner tie rod end links the steering rack to the outer linkage, transmitting steering input through its ball stud so the front wheel turns with the driver. When the joint wears, it can develop play that shows up as loose or wandering steering, a clunk when turning, and uneven front tire wear — signs this part may need replacing. If a worn inner tie rod end is the cause, MEV154 replaces the failed joint.
What is the Mevotech Supreme MEV154?
It's a front inner tie rod end that connects the steering rack to the outer linkage and transmits steering input to the front wheel through its ball stud.
Is this the right tie rod end for a 1980-1984 Volkswagen Jetta?
Yes. It's a direct-fit replacement for the 1980-1984 Volkswagen Jetta and also fits the 1985-1990 Volkswagen Cabriolet and 1975-1989 Volkswagen Scirocco. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.
What are signs my tie rod end may need replacing?
Play in the joint, loose or wandering steering, a clunk when turning, and uneven front tire wear. Have the cause diagnosed, since these signs can have other sources.
Does MEV154 include installation hardware?
Yes. Mevotech's Labor Saver design adds installation hardware in the box to make the job faster and easier.
Do I need an alignment after installing this part?
Yes. Replacing a tie rod end changes the front toe setting, so a wheel alignment afterward is recommended to protect tire wear and steering.
