Mevotech is absolute junk, especially their Supreme X Factor garbage. I did my entire Corolla front=end over in X Factor. I drive almost all smooth highway, and am easy on my cars. Every Mevotech piece wore out to undrivable within, (not after, 1 year. I also installed some Mevotech on my wife's Windstar at around the same time. You guessed it. totally worn out. It's utter poo folks! I called Mevotech to complain. They did nothing for me at all. Never again! I replaced everything with ProForged which lasted for several years after that til I sold the car.
HERE'S A TIP. If you go to the auto parts store to get let's say 2 tie rod ends or anything with a ball joint. 1st, don't get China-made if you can help it. 2nd, try to move the ball stud with your fingers. If one of the two moves easier, ask for a tighter one so the one's you leave with are similar. While I'm told by manufacturers this should not make a difference, every time I had a looser one, it ALWAYS failed much sooner than the tight one.

Hey Chris, I have a question about the mevotech parts you are using. How are they holding up? Im looking at getting all 4 control arms from mevotech for my 2000 Chevy blazer. Did they fit properly? Was the quality worth it? I was looking at Moog but they dont make the heavy duty control arms for my blazer any more. And when I do find some they dont have all 4.
But since Im eyeing mevotech for now I havent bothered with Moog much for other then steering components. If you could please answer ASAP that would be amazing because I need to order those today or tomorrow. Also the parts Im looking to get are the mevotech supreme. Thanks in advance.

I just replaced the right tie rod on my 07 trailblazer with an OEM AC DELCO part. All went pretty well, nothing really tight. The tie rod would not take grease. I removed the zerk and it flowed grease. I knocked the ball around with a piece of wood and I could see that the ball moved. Guess its too tight to let the grease in. I think it already has grease but found this strange. My plan is to try to grease it again after about 1K miles and maybe it will have enough clearance for the grease to enter. Measured and counted turns and its back exactly like it was.

When I drive my car to 60 to 70 miles per hour, it goes to the left side I took it and did alignment and it was fine for a few days and then it went back again. The car 2011 Honda CR-Z 50, 000 mi on it. Could it be the tie rod need to be replaced? Or something else

Chris am one of your top fans
But man I already destroyed 2 tie rod when I was taking them off by flipping that castle nut and tapping on it
The best way is hitting the female area where the tie rod male goes in
Well someone gotta explain

Hi Chris, I have a question for you. I replace the ball joint on the 2001 e150 Econoline. I thought by doing that, I was going to fix the toe-in tire problem, but it didn't what I should do now?

One question about the alignment, you said to mark the old tie rod ( the broken tie rod that is out of allignment probably right? Isnt the new one going to be stretched and stressed too much?
