MOOG Chassis Products Steering Tie Rod End P/N:ES800249

Tighten up loose, wandering steering with the MOOG CHASSIS tie rod end (MPN ES800249), the front left outer steering tie rod end that connects the steering linkage to the wheel knuckle. It installs as a direct-fit replacement for the 2007-2012 Nissan Versa and the 2009-2014 Nissan Cube.

The tie rod end transfers steering motion from the linkage to the front wheel; a worn socket shows up as play in the steering, uneven front tire wear, or a knocking felt through the wheel over uneven pavement. This MOOG unit uses design features intended to extend service life:

• Pressed-in cover plate: a patented cover plate helps seal out debris and minimize looseness to reduce bearing wear.
• Greaseable socket: lets fresh lubricant flush contaminants from the joint.
• Belleville preload washer: helps keep the bearing package tight as the bearings wear.
• Gusher bearing: a metal-to-metal Problem Solver design 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.

Precision tolerances are designed for straightforward installation and steering alignment. If a failed tie rod end is the cause of your steering play, this replaces it.
