Help bring back firm, predictable steering on your 1994-1999 Dodge Ram 1500, 1994-1999 Dodge Ram 2500 or 1994-1999 Dodge Ram 3500 with the MOOG ES3172RLT front outer tie rod end. Designed for OE fit and function, this steering tie rod end connects the steering linkage to the knuckle so the front wheels follow your steering input. See the Buyer's Guide tab for full application details.
MOOG backs its outer tie rod ends with quality materials and thorough testing, and this one carries the features built into the line:
Precision tolerances are intended to make installation and steering alignment straightforward. Worn tie rod ends can cause loose or wandering steering, a clunk when turning, or uneven front tire wear. If the original outer tie rod end is behind those symptoms, the ES3172RLT replaces it. Have the front-end alignment checked after installation.
Will this work as a 1994-1999 Dodge Ram 1500 tie rod replacement?
Yes. The ES3172RLT is a front outer tie rod end listed for the 1994-1999 Dodge Ram 1500, and it also fits the 1994-1999 Dodge Ram 2500 and 1994-1999 Dodge Ram 3500.
What does an outer tie rod end do?
It connects the steering linkage to the steering knuckle. It transfers your steering input so the front wheels turn as you steer.
Can this tie rod end be greased?
Yes. It has a greaseable socket that lets new lubricant flush out contaminants, and a Gusher bearing that lets grease flow across the bearing surface.
What are signs a tie rod end may need replacing?
Common signs include steering looseness or play, wandering, a clunk when turning, and uneven front tire wear. Diagnose the cause first, because other steering and suspension parts can cause similar symptoms.
Do I need an alignment after installing it?
Yes. Replacing a tie rod end affects the toe setting, so have the front-end alignment checked and set after installation; the part's precision tolerances are designed to make alignment easier.
