What vehicles does the DS800981A fit?
It's a direct-fit replacement for the 2009-2010 Dodge Ram 2500 and Ram 3500 and the 2011-2013 Ram 2500 and Ram 3500. Check the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm your exact vehicle.
Is this steering linkage pre-assembled?
Yes. It ships pre-assembled with all necessary MOOG tie rod ends, so you don't have to identify, source, and assemble the individual components.
What is the Gusher Bearing?
It's MOOG's Problem Solver metal-to-metal bearing design that allows grease to flow through the bearing surface, helping reduce friction for long service life.
Are the sockets greasable?
Yes. The greasable sockets let you flush in new lubricant to push out contaminants, helping reduce corrosion and internal wear over time.
What are signs I may need to replace the steering linkage?
Loose or wandering steering, excess play in the wheel, uneven tire wear, or clunking during turns can indicate worn tie rod ends. Have the linkage inspected to confirm the cause.
