Steer your Ram 2500 tie rod linkage back to tight, precise control with the MOOG Chassis Steering Tie Rod End ES3496. This is the front left outer tie rod end, and it drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 1998-1999 Dodge Ram 2500 and 1998-1999 Dodge Ram 3500 — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment.

A tie rod end connects the steering linkage to the steering knuckle, transferring input to the wheel; signs it may need replacing include loose or wandering steering, uneven tire wear, and clunking or play in the linkage.

  • Restores like-new steering: a patented pressed-in cover plate seals out debris and minimizes looseness, reducing bearing wear.
  • Greaseable socket: lets you flush in fresh lubricant to purge contaminants and slow wear.
  • Absorbs impact: a Belleville preload washer helps keep the bearing package tight as the bearings wear.
  • Problem Solver gusher bearing: a metal-to-metal design adds strength and channels grease through the bearing surface for reduced friction.
  • Strong ball stud: heat treated to match or exceed OE requirements for improved fatigue strength.

Precision tolerances give an easy install for steering alignment right out of the box.
