Detailed Description
Mevotech Supreme Parts are engineered in-house with application-specific improvements aimed at durability and performance. The MDS1462 tie rod end is built for demanding steering loads and is suited for 2000-2002 Dodge Ram 2500 front left inner, 2000-2002 Dodge Ram 3500 front left inner, and 2000-2001 Dodge Ram 1500 front left inner service. If you are replacing a worn Dodge Ram 1500 tie rod end or servicing a Dodge Ram 3500 front suspension with solid axle, this part number provides a direct-fit steering solution. This part cross-references MOOG Chassis Products DS1462 and Delphi TA2795 for the same application.
What It Helps Fix
- Steering play or looseness at the front left inner tie rod location
- Clunking or knocking from worn steering linkage components
- Uneven tire wear caused by excessive steering joint movement
- Loose steering response during lane changes or turns
- Grease loss and contamination at the steering joint
Installation Notes and Tips
Verify vehicle year, model, and front left inner position before installation. The MDS1462 uses a threaded stud and includes a dust boot, grease fitting, castle nut, cotter pin, and mounting hardware. After installation, grease the joint as specified and inspect alignment, since steering linkage replacement can affect toe settings on Dodge Ram 2500 and Dodge Ram 3500 trucks.
Quality Assurance
Mevotech Supreme steering components are engineered with in-house application-specific upgrades and are built for high-usage commercial and passenger vehicles, SUVs, fleets, and working trucks. The MDS1462 is designed to meet the demands of steering service in select Dodge Ram applications.
