Tighten up a loose, wandering 1995-2004 Toyota Tacoma tie rod and help bring back precise steering feel with the MOOG Chassis Steering Tie Rod End ES3546. This is the front left outer tie rod end, and it drops in as a direct-fit replacement designed for OE fit and function on the 1995-2004 Toyota Tacoma. The tie rod end connects the steering linkage to the knuckle, transferring your steering input to the front wheel while allowing for suspension movement — a worn one shows up as play in the wheel, imprecise steering, or uneven tire wear.
Greaseable socket: lets fresh lubricant flush out contaminants to reduce corrosion and wear.
Gusher Bearing: a metal-to-metal design that lets grease flow through the bearing surface for reduced friction and long life.
Pressed-in cover plate: a patented cover plate seals out debris and minimizes looseness, reducing bearing wear.
Built to last: made of forged alloy steel, with a heat-treated ball stud made to match or exceed OE requirements and a Belleville preload washer that helps keep the bearing package tight as the bearings wear. A premium boot keeps contaminants out.
If a failed outer tie rod end is the cause of the steering symptoms on your 1995-2004 Toyota Tacoma, this MOOG unit replaces it and helps restore vehicle handling.
