Connect your steering linkage to the front wheels with the Mevotech Supreme steering tie rod end (MEV471). It installs as a direct-fit replacement for the 2001-2006 Acura MDX and 2003-2008 Honda Pilot — see the "Vehicles it fits" section for engine-level fitment. This is the front inner tie rod end, the joint that transfers steering input from the linkage to help point the front wheels while allowing for normal steering and suspension movement.
Mevotech Supreme parts are engineered in-house with application-specific upgrades for durability, and are built for high-usage commercial, passenger, SUV, fleet and working-truck service. If a worn inner tie rod end is the cause of loose or wandering steering, excess play, or uneven front-tire wear, this replaces it.
- A stronger bond: pre-applied Nylok thread adhesive helps keep fasteners secure and vibration-resistant.
- Labor savers added: additional installation hardware is included in the box.
- Precise engineering & premium materials: parts are innovated inside and out using premium materials for high durability and longer part life.
- Rigorous testing: extensive in-house and third-party durability testing backs its strength.
Inspect and replace tie rod ends in pairs where worn, and have the front end aligned after installation.
