$100.99

Steer straight and tighten up sloppy handling with the MOOG Chassis Products Steering Tie Rod End DS1238 — the front right outer tie rod end that connects your steering linkage to the knuckle. It's a direct-fit Jeep XJ tie rod for the 1991-2001 Jeep Cherokee and the 1991-1992 Jeep Comanche (see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment).

  • Greaseable socket: lets you flush in fresh lubricant to push out contaminants, helping reduce corrosion and wear.
  • Gusher Bearing: a metal-to-metal Problem Solver design that adds strength and channels grease across the bearing surface for reduced friction.
  • Belleville preload washer: helps keep the bearing package tight as the bearings wear.
  • Pressed-in cover plate: seals out debris and minimizes looseness to reduce bearing wear.

The ball stud is heat treated to match or exceed OE requirements to improve fatigue strength, and precision tolerances are designed for easy installation and steering alignment. Signs the original tie rod end may need replacing include loose or wandering steering, uneven tire wear, and a knocking or clunking from the front end when turning. Sold individually as the front right outer unit; inspect the opposite side and inner tie rods, and align the vehicle after installation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What position is the MOOG DS1238?

It's the front right (passenger side) outer steering tie rod end. It's sold individually, so order the matching part for the other side if that end also needs service.

Does this fit a Jeep XJ tie rod ends replacement?

Yes. The DS1238 is a direct-fit replacement for the 1991-2001 Jeep Cherokee (XJ) and the 1991-1992 Jeep Comanche. Check the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm your vehicle.

Is this tie rod end greaseable?

Yes. It has a greaseable socket that lets you add fresh lubricant to flush out contaminants, which helps reduce corrosion and wear over time.

How do I know if my tie rod end is bad?

Common signs include loose or wandering steering, a knocking or clunking from the front end when turning, and uneven tire wear. Have the cause diagnosed before replacing.

Do I need a wheel alignment after installing this?

Yes. Replacing a tie rod end changes the toe setting, so a steering alignment is recommended after installation for proper handling and even tire wear.
