MEYLE 31201228 HD Left Outer Tie Rod End

The MEYLE 31201228 is a heavy-duty (HD) left outer tie rod end that delivers enhanced durability and performance compared to original equipment specifications. This upgraded steering component is part of MEYLE's HD product line, which features reinforced construction designed to outlast OE counterparts.

Key Features:

• Heavy-duty reinforced design with larger ball head diameter for increased surface area
• Reduces wear and preserves the plastic socket, helping prevent costly consequential damage
• Special high-performance grease formulated to minimize wear under heavy loads
• Enhanced durability with service life exceeding 100,000 kilometers
• Four-year manufacturer warranty on MEYLE HD parts
• Engineered and quality-tested in Germany
• Direct OE replacement for Volvo part numbers 30760806, 30776323, and 31201228

MEYLE HD tie rod ends utilize a larger ball stud surface to handle dynamic steering loads more effectively than standard parts. The improved design features fully compatible steel, plastic, and rubber materials with uniform friction distribution across the entire load range. Proper installation requires torquing the nut to 65 Nm by hand until the ball pin no longer turns, followed by final torque with a torque wrench. Wheel alignment is required after installation.
