Help keep your front steering tight and responsive with the MOOG ES319R front outer tie rod end, a greaseable replacement built around MOOG's Problem Solver Gusher bearing and a heat-treated ball stud. It fits many Dodge and Plymouth vehicles, among them the 1966-1969 Dodge Charger, 1965-1969 Dodge Coronet and 1962-1969 Dodge Dart, as a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list.
- Pressed-in cover plate: MOOG's patented pressed-in cover plate keeps debris out and minimizes looseness, which reduces bearing wear and helps extend service life.
- Greaseable socket: Fresh lubricant can be pumped in to flush out contaminants, helping reduce corrosion and wear.
- Problem Solver Gusher bearing with Belleville preload washer: The metal-to-metal bearing design adds strength and lets grease flow across the bearing surface to reduce friction. The Belleville washer absorbs impact and helps keep the bearing package tight as the bearings wear.
- Heat-treated ball stud: Heat treated to match or exceed OE requirements, which helps inhibit premature failure and improves fatigue strength.
Precision tolerances are designed for easy installation and steering alignment, and MOOG engineers test the design throughout development. The outer tie rod end connects the steering linkage to the wheel, so wear here can show up as steering play, wandering, a clunk when turning or uneven tire wear. If a worn outer tie rod end is the cause, the ES319R replaces it. Have the wheel alignment checked after installation.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the MOOG ES319R work as a 1966-1969 Dodge Charger tie rod?
Yes. It is a front outer tie rod end for the 1966-1969 Dodge Charger, and it also fits the 1965-1969 Dodge Coronet and 1962-1969 Dodge Dart. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for other vehicles.
What does a steering tie rod end do?
It connects the steering linkage to the wheel's steering arm and passes your steering input to the wheel. Its ball-stud joint lets that connection pivot as the suspension moves.
Can the ES319R be greased?
Yes. It has a greaseable socket, so new lubricant can be added to flush out contaminants. This helps reduce corrosion and wear.
What are signs an outer tie rod end may need replacing?
Common signs include play or looseness in the steering, wandering, a clunk when turning and uneven tire wear. Inspect the steering and suspension first, since other parts can cause these symptoms.
Do I need an alignment after installing it?
Yes. Replacing a tie rod end affects the toe setting, so an alignment is recommended. MOOG's precision tolerances are designed to make installation and alignment easier.
