Detailed Description

Mevotech GS86744 is engineered as a direct OE-style steering tie rod end for the front inner position. It is designed to restore original steering feel and handling on 2010-2019 Lexus RX350, 2010-2019 Lexus RX450h, 2018-2019 Lexus RX350L, 2018-2019 Lexus RX450hL, 2008-2019 Toyota Highlander, and 2009-2016 Toyota Venza. The part uses male ends with M16 - 1.5 thread size on both sides, a threaded stud, and a non-adjustable layout for straightforward replacement of the original component. Mevotech GS86744 also cross-references MOOG Chassis Products EV801472 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Loose or vague steering feel at the front end
• Clunking or play from worn inner steering linkage components
• Uneven steering response after tie rod wear
• Restoring factory steering geometry during steering service
• Replacement of a worn front inner tie rod end on Lexus RX350, Toyota Highlander, or Toyota Venza

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify vehicle year, model, and front inner steering position before installation. The non-adjustable design and M16 - 1.5 thread specification should be matched to the original steering linkage hardware. Because this part is pre-greased and includes mounting hardware where required, it is suited to a direct replacement workflow, but final alignment should be checked after steering component service.

Quality Assurance

Mevotech Original Grade parts are built to match the original manufacturer’s fit, form, and function for OE-style replacement service. GS86744 is intended for drivers who want a factory-type steering component for regular use on supported Lexus and Toyota platforms.
