Detailed Description

The Mevotech MES3420S steering tie rod end adjusting sleeve is engineered for steering linkage service on Ford F-250 Super Duty and Ford F-350 Super Duty trucks, as well as select Ford Excursion applications. Its steel body, premium grade construction, and corrosion-resistant finish support long-term service in demanding front-end environments. The adjustable sleeve design helps set and maintain proper tie rod length during steering repairs and alignment work.

This part cross-references MOOG Chassis Products ES3420S and Delphi TA5714 for the same application. The MES3420S is a practical replacement when servicing front steering components on Ford Super Duty models, including front right Twin I-Beam axle configurations.

Common Repair Applications

• Steering wheel off-center after front-end service
• Uneven toe setting during alignment correction
• Worn or seized tie rod adjusting sleeve
• Loose steering linkage adjustment at the front axle
• Replacement during Ford F-250 Super Duty and Ford F-350 Super Duty steering repairs

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify thread direction, thread size, and position before installation. The MES3420S uses a counterclockwise 1"-16-LH thread and a two-female-end configuration, so it should be matched to the correct steering linkage side and application. After installation, perform a professional alignment to confirm toe setting and steering wheel centering. For 1999-2007 Ford F-250 Super Duty and Ford F-350 Super Duty front right applications, confirm Twin I-Beam axle and pitman arm to RH steering arm routing before service.

Quality Assurance

Mevotech identifies this sleeve as a premium-grade steering hardware component with corrosion-resistant protection for service use. Part number MES3420S is built to meet the dimensional and thread requirements listed for the confirmed Ford applications.
