Help keep your steering precise with the QuickSteer ES3490 steering tie rod end, a front left outer 1998-2002 Honda Accord tie rod that is also listed for the 2001-2003 Acura CL and 1999-2003 Acura TL. It is a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications, and it is designed for OE fit and function. For engine details, see the Buyer's Guide tab.
The outer tie rod end connects the steering linkage to the steering knuckle and carries your steering input to the wheel. QuickSteer chassis parts are designed and tested to help return steering and handling to their original performance. Replacing a worn unit helps restore vehicle handling.
- Pressed-in cover plate: The patented plate seals out debris and minimizes looseness, which reduces bearing wear and promotes longer life.
- Greaseable socket: New lubricant can flush out contaminants, which reduces corrosion and wear. A premium boot helps keep contaminants out.
- Forged alloy steel and heat-treated ball studs: The part is made of forged alloy steel for durability. Its ball studs are heat treated to match or exceed OE requirements, which helps inhibit premature failure and improves fatigue strength.
- Belleville preload washer: Helps keep the bearing package tight as the bearings wear.
A Problem Solver Gusher bearing uses a metal-to-metal design for strength and lets grease flow through the bearing surface to reduce friction. Precision tolerances are intended to make installation and steering alignment easier. MOOG engineers test the design throughout its development. Because the tie rod affects toe settings, have the wheel alignment checked after installation.
