- Maximum toughness: patented sintered bearings are designed for longer-lasting performance.
- Locks out contaminants: a patented sealing ring locks the boot onto the ball joint housing for a secure seal.
- Larger sphere design: an application-specific ball stud system uses a larger sphere.
- Quick install, simple service: a part-specific slotted castle nut and easy-snap cotter pin are provided, and a 180-degree SAE grease fitting is included. Pre-applied nylok thread adhesive helps keep fasteners secure and vibration resistant.
The tie rod end connects the tie rod to the steering knuckle and carries steering input to the wheel. Signs it may need replacing include loose or wandering steering, excess play in the steering wheel, clunking when turning and uneven tire wear. A wheel alignment is generally recommended after installation.
