Help keep your steering straight and quiet with the MOOG Chassis Steering Tie Rod End ES80666, the front left outer link that connects your steering to the wheel and sets your toe alignment. It fits many vehicles and drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications, among them the 2005-2024 Volkswagen Jetta, 2012-2022 Volkswagen Passat and 2009-2023 Volkswagen Tiguan.

  • Patented cover plate: a patented pressed-in cover plate seals out debris and minimizes looseness, reducing bearing wear for longer life.
  • Greaseable socket: lets you flush in new lubricant to push out contaminants, helping reduce corrosion and wear.
  • Belleville preload washer: helps keep the bearing package tight as the bearings wear, absorbing impact.
  • Problem Solver Gusher Bearing: a metal-to-metal design that adds strength and lets grease flow through the bearing surface for reduced friction.
  • Heat-treated ball studs: treated to match or exceed OE requirements to inhibit premature failure and improve fatigue strength.

Precision tolerances make for easy installation, though a wheel alignment is recommended after fitting. It also fits many other Volkswagen and Audi models. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list of years, makes, models, and engines.
