Keep steering tight and responsive with the MOOG Chassis Products Steering Tie Rod End (ES80580), a direct-fit front outer tie rod end for the 2006-2007 Ford Focus. This 2006-2007 Ford Focus tie rod links the steering system to the wheel, and if a worn original is behind loose steering or uneven tire wear, this replacement is designed to restore that connection with forged alloy steel construction built for durability.
Greaseable socket: allows new lubricant to flow through and flush out contaminants, reducing corrosion and wear.
Gusher bearing: a metal-to-metal design that adds strength and lets grease flow across the bearing surface to reduce friction.
Belleville preload washer: helps keep the bearing package tight as the bearings wear, absorbing impact.
Sealed and protected: a patented pressed-in cover plate and premium boot help seal out debris, while heat-treated ball studs are designed to match or exceed OE requirements for fatigue strength.
Designed for OE fit and function with precision tolerances for straightforward installation. Sold individually; tie rod ends install as left/right pairs, so consider ordering two and having the alignment checked afterward.
