Steer straight and tighten up loose, wandering handling with the MOOG CHASSIS tie rod end, part number ES80960. This front left outer steering tie rod end drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 2004-2009 Cadillac SRX (see the "Vehicles it fits" section for engine-level fitment), connecting the steering system to the wheel so driver input transfers to the front wheels.
Patented cover plate: a pressed-in cover plate seals out debris and helps minimize looseness, reducing bearing wear.
Greaseable socket: allows new lubricant to flush out contaminants, helping reduce corrosion and wear.
Belleville preload washer: helps keep the bearing package tight as the bearings wear.
Gusher bearing: a metal-to-metal design that lets grease flow through the bearing surface for reduced friction.
Heat-treated ball stud: heat treated to match or exceed OE requirements to improve fatigue strength.
Signs this part may need replacing include loose or wandering steering, uneven front tire wear, and clunking or play felt through the wheel. If a worn outer tie rod end is the cause, this MOOG unit replaces it. A wheel alignment is recommended after installation.
