MOOG Chassis Products Steering Tie Rod End P/N:ES423R

Keep your steering precise and responsive with the MOOG Chassis Front Steering Tie Rod End ES423R. This outer tie rod end links the steering linkage to the steering knuckle, transferring the driver's input to turn the wheels — a wear point that develops play over time. It's a direct-fit replacement for a wide range of heavy-duty trucks and buses, including the 1980-1986 Ford C700, 1996-2010 Freightliner Century Class, 1998-2017 Blue Bird All American FE, and 1989-2004 Blue Bird TC2000, with 140 total applications (engine listed as All) — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.

Features:

• Patented pressed-in cover plate: seals out debris and minimizes looseness, reducing bearing wear for longer component life.
• Greaseable socket: fresh lubricant flushes contaminants out of the joint to help reduce corrosion and wear.
• Belleville preload washer: helps keep the bearing package tight as the bearings wear.
• Gusher bearing: metal-to-metal design provides strength and lets grease flow through the bearing surface for reduced friction.
• Heat-treated ball stud: heat treated to match or exceed OE requirements for fatigue strength.

This is a straight, male tie rod end with a clockwise thread direction, a 1.125 in thread diameter, and 12 threads per inch on the stud end. Premium grade; dust boot not included. Country of origin: United States. If a worn tie rod end is the cause of loose steering, wandering, a clunk when turning, or uneven tire wear, this replaces it — diagnose the cause before replacing. Sold individually. Manufacturer part number ES423R.
