Tighten up loose steering on your Ram 1500 tie rod with the MOOG Steering Tie Rod End ES3497, a direct-fit front left outer unit that mounts at the Pitman arm. It installs on the 1998-1999 Dodge Ram 1500, 1998-1999 Dodge Ram 2500, and 1998-1999 Dodge Ram 3500 — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level detail.

This tie rod end connects the steering linkage to the knuckle, transmitting steering input to the wheel. Worn units show up as loose or wandering steering, uneven tire wear, or a clunk when turning; if the original tie rod end is the cause, this replaces it.

  • Greaseable socket: lets fresh lubricant flush out contaminants to reduce corrosion and wear.
  • Pressed-in cover plate & premium boot: seal out debris and help minimize looseness.
  • Belleville preload washer: helps keep the bearing package tight as the bearings wear.
  • Forged alloy steel with heat-treated ball stud: built for strength and fatigue resistance, designed for OE fit and function.

The QuickSteer/MOOG gusher bearing uses a metal-to-metal design that lets grease flow through the bearing surface for reduced friction. Designed and tested to help restore steering and handling toward original performance on the listed Dodge Ram trucks.
