A tie rod end links the steering linkage to the steering knuckle and carries steering input to the wheel. Mevotech designs its TTX parts with cutting-edge technology to be the strongest, most durable parts on the market, and adds Labor Saver designs, tools and hardware intended to make installation faster and easier.
- Maximum toughness: patented sintered bearings designed for longer-lasting performance.
- Locks out contaminants: a patented sealing ring permanently locks the boot onto the ball joint housing to help keep contaminants out.
- Larger sphere design: an application-specific ball stud system with a larger sphere.
- Quick installation: a part-specific slotted castle nut and easy snap cotter pin are provided to secure the joint to the vehicle.
- Simple to service: a 180-degree SAE grease fitting is included.
- A stronger bond: pre-applied nylok thread adhesive helps keep fasteners secure and resistant to vibration.
Signs a tie rod end may need replacing include loose or wandering steering, clunking when turning, excess play in the steering wheel and uneven tire wear.
