If a worn 2000-2004 Dodge Dakota tie rod is behind loose or wandering steering, the MOOG QuickSteer EV406 front inner tie rod end is a direct-fit replacement for it and for the 2000-2003 Dodge Durango. It is part of the steering linkage that carries your steering input to the front wheels. QuickSteer chassis parts are designed and tested to help return steering and handling to their original performance, and this unit is designed for OE fit and function.
- Absorbs impact: a Belleville preload washer helps guard against spring bind and shattering under shock loads.
- Problem Solver® Gusher bearing: a metal-to-metal design adds strength and lets grease flow through the bearing surface for reduced friction.
- Strong and durable: made of forged alloy steel, with ball studs heat treated to match or exceed OE requirements to help inhibit premature failure and improve fatigue strength.
- Easy to install: wrench flats on the housing and stud simplify installation and alignment adjustment, and a pre-applied thread locking compound helps resist self-loosening.
MOOG engineers test comprehensively throughout the design and development process. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for engine-level fitment details, and have the alignment checked after installation.
