MOOG backs its outer tie rod ends with quality materials and rigorous testing, and its problem-solving designs are aimed at a quick, straightforward installation. As a front outer steering tie rod end, it links the steering linkage to the steering knuckle and carries your steering input out to the wheel.

• Patented pressed-in cover plate: Seals out debris and minimizes looseness, which reduces bearing wear and promotes longer life.
• Greaseable socket: Lets fresh lubricant flush out contaminants to reduce corrosion and wear.
• Belleville preload washer and Gusher bearing: The washer absorbs impact and helps keep the bearing package tight as the bearings wear. The metal-to-metal bearing design provides strength and lets grease flow through the bearing surface for reduced friction.
• Heat-treated ball stud and precision tolerances: The ball stud is heat treated to match or exceed OE requirements, which inhibits premature failure and improves fatigue strength. Precision tolerances are intended for easy installation and steering alignment.

Signs a front outer tie rod end may need replacing include loose or wandering steering, a clunk or knock when turning, and uneven tire wear. Have the front-end alignment checked after installation.
