MOOG Chassis Products Steering Tie Rod End P/N:ES3173RL

Tighten up loose, wandering steering with the MOOG ES3173RL Front Outer Steering Tie Rod End — a direct-fit replacement for the 2000-2002 Chrysler Neon, 2001-2010 Chrysler PT Cruiser, 1995-2005 Dodge Neon, 2003-2005 Dodge SX 2.0, and 1995-2001 Plymouth Neon. This front outer tie rod end connects the steering linkage to the steering knuckle, transferring input to the wheel while allowing suspension and steering movement. Designed for OE fit and function, it helps restore steering and handling on the listed applications.

• Greaseable socket: lets fresh lubricant flush out contaminants to reduce corrosion and wear.
• Pressed-in cover plate: a patented, pressed-in cover plate seals out debris and minimizes looseness, reducing bearing wear.
• Forged alloy steel: built for durability, with heat-treated ball studs made to match or exceed OE requirements for improved fatigue strength.
• Belleville preload washer & gusher bearing: helps keep the bearing package tight as bearings wear, while the metal-to-metal gusher bearing lets grease flow through the bearing surface for reduced friction.

A premium boot keeps contaminants out, and precision tolerances make for easy installation and steering alignment. If a worn outer tie rod end is the cause of play or uneven tire wear, this replacement addresses it. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment details.
