Help restore tight, predictable steering with the MOOG EV800099 front inner tie rod end, designed for OE fit and function on the 2005-2010 Dodge Dakota, 2011 Ram Dakota and 2006-2009 Mitsubishi Raider. It is designed and tested to help return steering and handling to their original performance. This inner tie rod end connects the steering gear to the outer tie rod end and carries your steering input out to the front wheels.
- Problem Solver® Gusher bearing: a metal-to-metal design adds strength and lets grease flow across the bearing surface for reduced friction.
- Belleville preload washer: absorbs impact and helps guard against spring bind and shattering under shock loads.
- Forged alloy steel: built for durability. The ball studs are heat-treated to match or exceed OE requirements, intended to improve fatigue strength and help inhibit premature failure.
- Easier service: wrench flats on the housing and stud simplify installation and alignment adjustment, and a pre-applied thread locking compound helps resist self-loosening.
Loose or wandering steering, a clunk when turning, or uneven tire wear can be signs that the inner tie rod end may need replacing. These symptoms have other possible causes, so diagnose the steering system before replacing parts, and plan for a wheel alignment after installation. MOOG engineers test this MOOG CHASSIS tie rod end throughout design and development. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for engine-specific fitment.
