Help keep steering tight and responsive with the Mevotech Supreme steering tie rod end (MEV405), a front inner tie rod end engineered in-house with application-specific upgrades for high-usage passenger vehicles, SUVs, fleets and working trucks. It installs as a direct-fit replacement for many vehicles, among them the 2001-2004 Dodge Grand Caravan, 2001-2004 Chrysler Town & Country and 2001-2004 Dodge Caravan (see the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list).
The tie rod end links the steering to the front wheel, transmitting steering input while allowing the joint to pivot with suspension and steering travel. A worn unit shows up as play in the joint, loose or wandering steering, uneven tire wear, or knocking when turning — if a failed front inner tie rod end is the cause, this replaces it.
- A stronger bond: pre-applied Nylok thread adhesive helps keep fasteners secure and vibration resistant.
- Labor Savers added: additional hardware is included in the box to simplify installation.
- Premium materials: used on all components for longer part life.
- Rigorous testing: extensive in-house and third-party durability testing backs its strength.
