- Greaseable socket: allows new lubricant to flush out contaminants, reducing corrosion and wear.
- Patented pressed-in cover plate: seals out debris and minimizes looseness, reducing bearing wear for longer life.
- Gusher Bearing & Belleville preload washer: the metal-to-metal design lets grease flow through the bearing surface, while the preload washer helps keep the bearing package tight as it wears.
- Forged alloy steel with heat-treated ball studs: built for durability and designed for OE fit and function.
A premium boot keeps contaminants out, and precision tolerances are intended to make installation and steering alignment straightforward. Worn tie rod ends can cause loose steering, uneven tire wear, or a clunk when turning — if the tie rod end is the cause, this replaces it.
