QuickSteer Steering Tie Rod End P/N:ES80991

Tighten up loose, wandering steering with the MOOG ES80991 Front Outer Steering Tie Rod End. It installs as a direct-fit front outer replacement for the 2004-2007 Ford Freestar and 2004-2007 Mercury Monterey, transferring steering input from the linkage to the front wheels. Designed for OE fit and function, it drops in for a worn original that has developed play.

• Forged alloy steel: built for durability under repeated steering loads.
• Greaseable socket: lets fresh lubricant flush out contaminants to reduce corrosion and wear.
• Patented pressed-in cover plate & premium boot: seal out debris and minimize looseness, reducing bearing wear and helping promote longer life.
• Gusher Bearing & Belleville preload washer: the metal-to-metal design lets grease flow through the bearing surface, while the preload washer helps keep the bearing package tight as bearings wear.

Ball studs are heat treated to match or exceed OE requirements to inhibit premature failure and improve fatigue strength. Signs your original front outer tie rod end may need replacing include loose or wandering steering, uneven tire wear, and clunking or play in the steering when turning. If a worn tie rod end is the cause, this replacement helps restore steering and handling.
