  • Greaseable socket: Lets fresh lubricant flush contaminants to reduce corrosion and wear.
  • Pressed-in cover plate: Patented design seals out debris and minimizes looseness, helping reduce bearing wear.
  • Belleville preload washer: Helps keep the bearing package tight as the bearings wear, absorbing impact.
  • Gusher bearing: Problem Solver metal-to-metal design allows grease to flow through the bearing surface for reduced friction.
  • Heat-treated ball stud: Treated to match or exceed OE requirements to improve fatigue strength.

Precision tolerances are designed for straightforward installation and steering alignment. If a worn front outer tie rod end is the cause of loose steering, uneven tire wear, or play in the wheel, this MOOG unit replaces it.
