Restore tight, responsive steering with the MOOG ES2231RL Front Outer Steering Tie Rod End. This front outer tie rod end drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 2004-2009 Cadillac XLR and 1997-2013 Chevrolet Corvette, connecting the steering linkage to the steering knuckle so wheel movement tracks with the steering wheel. Also cataloged under the QuickSteer ES2231RL number, it's designed for OE fit and function to help restore vehicle handling.

  • Greaseable socket: allows new lubricant to flush contaminants, reducing corrosion and wear.
  • Problem Solver gusher bearing: metal-to-metal design provides strength and lets grease flow through the bearing surface for reduced friction and long life.
  • Pressed-in cover plate & premium boot: the patented pressed-in cover plate seals out debris and minimizes looseness, while the premium boot keeps out contaminants.
  • Forged alloy steel construction: heat-treated ball studs are built to match or exceed OE requirements to inhibit premature failure and improve fatigue strength.

A Belleville preload washer helps keep the bearing package tight as the bearings wear. Precision tolerances support easy installation and steering alignment. If a worn tie rod end is the cause of loose steering, uneven tire wear, or front-end play, this MOOG unit replaces it.
