Help take the slack out of worn steering on your 1975-1978 Nissan 280Z, 1974 Nissan 260Z or 1970-1973 Nissan 240Z with the MOOG ES2109R front right outer tie rod end. This steering tie rod end connects the tie rod to the right-front steering knuckle and is a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for engine details.
MOOG backs its outer tie rod ends with its materials and testing, and adds problem-solving features intended to make installation quick and simple:
- Pressed-in cover plate: MOOG's patented cover plate seals out debris and minimizes looseness. This reduces bearing wear and supports a longer life.
- Greaseable socket: New lubricant can be added to flush out contaminants, which helps reduce corrosion and wear.
- Problem Solver® Gusher bearing and Belleville preload washer: The metal-to-metal bearing adds strength and lets grease flow across the bearing surface to reduce friction. The Belleville washer helps keep the bearing package tight as the bearings wear.
- Heat-treated ball stud: Heat treated to match or exceed OE requirements, to help inhibit premature failure and improve fatigue strength.
This MOOG CHASSIS tie rod end is built to precision tolerances for easier installation and steering alignment. MOOG engineers test it throughout design and development. This listing is for one front right outer unit.
Signs this part may need replacing include looseness or excess play in the steering, wandering, clunking when turning, and uneven tire wear. A wheel alignment is recommended after installation.
