Description

Help keep your steering tight and your tire wear even with the QuickSteer Front Outer Steering Tie Rod End ES2128RL, a MOOG CHASSIS tie rod end that installs as a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications. It fits many vehicles, among them the 1979-1981 Ford Mustang, 1978-1981 Ford Fairmont and 1981 Ford Granada; see the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list. Designed for OE fit and function, this tie rod end links the outer steering linkage to the steering knuckle.

Forged alloy steel: built for durability under steering loads.
Greaseable socket: lets fresh lubricant flush out contaminants to help reduce corrosion and wear.
Sealed against debris: a premium boot and patented pressed-in cover plate help keep contaminants out and minimize looseness, reducing bearing wear.
Gusher bearing + Belleville washer: the Problem Solver metal-to-metal bearing channels grease through the bearing surface, while the preload washer helps keep the package tight as bearings wear.

The ball stud is heat treated to match or exceed OE requirements for improved fatigue strength. Loose or wandering steering, a clunk or play in the linkage, and uneven tire wear are signs a tie rod end may need replacing. If a worn outer tie rod is the cause, this part replaces it. Have an alignment performed after installation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this work as a 1979-1981 Ford Mustang tie rod?

Yes. The ES2128RL is a direct-fit front outer tie rod end for the 1979-1981 Ford Mustang, and it also fits several other Ford and Mercury models. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list.

Is this an inner or outer tie rod end?

It's the front outer tie rod end, not an inner tie rod. It connects the outer steering linkage to the steering knuckle.

Is this tie rod end greaseable?

Yes. It uses a greaseable socket that lets you add fresh lubricant, which helps flush out contaminants to reduce corrosion and wear.

What are the signs my tie rod end needs replacing?

Loose or wandering steering, a clunk or play in the steering linkage, and uneven tire wear can indicate a worn tie rod end. Diagnose the cause before replacing.

Do I need a wheel alignment after installing it?

Yes. Replacing a tie rod end affects toe settings, so have a wheel alignment performed after installation for proper steering and even tire wear.
