Front Outer Tie Rod End for 1978-1979 Buick Skylark & More - MOOG ES427R

Help tighten up loose, wandering steering with the MOOG Chassis Products steering tie rod end (ES427R), a front outer tie rod end built as a direct-fit replacement for the listed 1970s GM applications. It fits many vehicles, among them the 1973-1977 Chevrolet El Camino, 1973-1977 Chevrolet Monte Carlo and 1973-1977 GMC Sprint. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full application and engine list.

• Pressed-in cover plate: patented design seals out debris and minimizes looseness, reducing bearing wear.
• Greaseable socket: lets fresh lubricant flush contaminants out, reducing corrosion and wear.
• Belleville preload washer: helps absorb impact and keeps the bearing package tight as the bearings wear.
• Problem Solver Gusher bearing: metal-to-metal design adds strength and channels grease through the bearing surface for reduced friction.
• Ball studs: heat treated to match or exceed OE requirements for improved fatigue strength.

If a worn tie rod end is the cause of sloppy, wandering steering, replacing it addresses that connection between the steering and the wheel.
