Help restore precise steering and handling on the 2003-2009 Nissan 350Z and 2003-2007 Infiniti G35 with the MOOG QuickSteer EV80279 front inner tie rod end. It is a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications and is designed for OE fit and function. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine details.

MOOG designs and tests its QuickSteer chassis parts to help bring steering and handling back to their original performance. The inner tie rod end connects the steering rack to the outer tie rod end, so it has a direct role in how the front wheels respond to the steering wheel.

  • Forged alloy steel: The part is made of forged alloy steel for durability.
  • Heat-treated ball stud: The ball stud is heat treated to match or exceed OE requirements. This helps inhibit premature failure and improves fatigue strength.
  • Wrench flats: Flats on both the housing and the stud make installation and alignment adjustment easier.
  • Pre-applied thread locker: The thread locking compound comes already applied. It makes installation easier and helps prevent self-loosening.

MOOG engineers test the part comprehensively throughout design and development. If a worn front inner tie rod end is causing loose steering, excess play or uneven tire wear, replacing it helps restore vehicle handling. A wheel alignment is recommended after installation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this a 2003-2009 Nissan 350Z tie rod, and does it also fit the 2003-2007 Infiniti G35?

Yes. It is listed for the 2003-2007 Infiniti G35 and the 2003-2009 Nissan 350Z. See the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm your exact vehicle.

Is this an inner tie rod or an outer end?

It is a front inner tie rod end. It connects the steering rack to the outer tie rod end, which links to the steering knuckle.

What is this tie rod end made of?

It is made of forged alloy steel. The ball stud is heat treated to match or exceed OE requirements, which helps inhibit premature failure and improves fatigue strength.

What are signs a steering tie rod end may need replacing?

Common signs are loose or wandering steering, excess play in the steering wheel, clunking when turning and uneven tire wear. Have the steering inspected first, because other parts can cause the same symptoms.

Does it need an alignment after installation?

Yes, an alignment is recommended because replacing a tie rod end affects the toe setting. Wrench flats on the housing and stud make the adjustment easier, and the pre-applied thread locker helps prevent self-loosening.
