Detailed Description
This Mevotech Supreme tie rod end is engineered for steering service on 1985-1988 Dodge Colt, 1989-1991 Dodge Colt, and 1985-1988 Mitsubishi Mirage front inner positions. For 1989-1991 Dodge Colt applications, the fitment notes specify a 46.13mm press-fit diameter. The MEV196 is designed as a direct steering replacement for vehicles that need precise front-end control and dependable road feel.

What It Helps Fix
- Excessive steering play at the front inner tie rod location
- Loose or imprecise steering response
- Clunking or knocking from worn steering linkage components
- Uneven tire wear caused by steering wear
- Restoration of steering geometry on Dodge Colt and Mitsubishi Mirage models
Installation Notes
Install on the front inner steering position only. Verify the press-fit diameter and vehicle year before installation, especially on 1989-1991 Dodge Colt models with the 46.13mm press-fit requirement. Because this part is non-adjustable, confirm alignment settings after installation and follow the vehicle service procedure for steering linkage replacement.
