MOOG Chassis Products Steering Tie Rod End P/N:DS1072
Tighten up loose, wandering steering with the MOOG ES800026 Front Left Outer Steering Tie Rod End. It drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 2004-2013 Mazda 3, the 2009-2013 Mazda 3 Sport, and the Mazda 5 (2006-2010 and 2012-2017) — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment. This tie rod end connects the steering linkage to the steering knuckle, transmitting steering input to the front wheel and helping keep the vehicle tracking straight.
Designed for OE fit and function, it installs with precision tolerances for easy alignment. Worn tie rod ends can show up as steering play, uneven tire wear, or a clunk when turning; if a failed left outer tie rod end is the cause, this replaces it.
What vehicles does the MOOG ES800026 fit?
It fits the 2004-2013 Mazda 3, 2009-2013 Mazda 3 Sport, 2006-2010 Mazda 5, and 2012-2017 Mazda 5. Check the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm engine-level fitment for your vehicle.
What position is this tie rod end?
It is the front left outer steering tie rod end, connecting the steering linkage to the left front steering knuckle.
Is this tie rod end greaseable?
Yes. It uses a greaseable socket that lets you add fresh lubricant to flush out contaminants, helping reduce corrosion and wear.
What is it made of?
It is made of forged alloy steel for durability, with ball studs heat treated to match or exceed OE requirements to improve fatigue strength.
How do I know my tie rod end needs replacing?
Signs may include steering play or wandering, uneven front tire wear, or a clunk when turning. Diagnose the cause first; if the left outer tie rod end is at fault, this replaces it.
