Keep your steering tight and your tire wear even with the QuickSteer Front Outer Steering Tie Rod End ES2128RL — a Mustang tie rod that installs as a direct-fit replacement for the 1979-1981 Ford Mustang, plus the 1978-1981 Ford Fairmont, 1981 Ford Granada, 1980-1981 Ford Thunderbird, 1979-1981 Mercury Capri, 1980-1981 Mercury Cougar and 1978-1981 Mercury Zephyr. Designed for OE fit and function, this MOOG CHASSIS 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 Mustang tie rod end may need replacing — if a worn outer tie rod is the cause, this Ford Mustang tie rod replaces it. Have an alignment performed after installation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this fit a 1979-1981 Ford Mustang?

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 Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.

Is this an inner or outer tie rod end?

It's the front outer tie rod end, not the inner tie rod Mustang owners sometimes search for. 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.
