- Problem Solver Gusher Bearing: a metal-to-metal design provides strength and lets grease flow through the bearing surface for reduced friction and long life.
- Belleville preload washer: helps absorb impact and eliminate spring bind and shattering during shock load.
- Heat-treated ball stud: the ball stud is heat treated to match or exceed OE requirements to inhibit premature failure and improve fatigue strength.
- Greaseable socket: a patented pressed-in cover plate seals out debris and minimizes looseness, while the greaseable socket lets fresh lubricant flush contaminants to reduce corrosion and wear.
Precision tolerances promote easy installation and steering alignment. Signs this inner tie rod end may need replacing include loose or wandering steering, uneven front tire wear, and clunking or play in the steering linkage.
