Detailed Product Description

The Mevotech MS90672 steering tie rod end is a critical component in the steering system, connecting the steering rack to the steering knuckle. Its 1.65-inch shank length and specific thread sizes (M12 - 1.25 male end and M16 - 1.5 female end) ensure compatibility with Hyundai and Kia models such as the Cadenza, Palisade, Sonata, and Optima. The pre-greased construction reduces initial wear and extends service life, while the included black rubber dust boot protects the joint from dirt and moisture. The threaded stud with a 1.18-inch length and locking nut provide a secure and stable connection, maintaining steering precision over time. This tie rod end is designed as a non-adjustable part, maintaining factory alignment settings for consistent vehicle handling.

Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the Mevotech MS90672 tie rod end, ensure the locking nut is properly tightened to factory torque specifications to prevent loosening.

Since this part is non-adjustable, a professional alignment check is recommended after installation to confirm proper steering geometry.
