MOOG Chassis Products Steering Tie Rod End P/N:ES2231RL

Sharpen up a loose, wandering steering feel with the MOOG ES2231RL Steering Tie Rod End — a front outer Corvette tie rod end that installs as a direct-fit replacement for the 1997-2013 Chevrolet Corvette and 2004-2009 Cadillac XLR. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment. It connects the steering linkage to the steering knuckle, transmitting steering input to the front wheels, and is designed for OE fit and function.

• Forged alloy steel: built for durability under repeated steering loads.
• Greaseable socket: lets you flush contaminants out with fresh grease to help reduce corrosion and wear.
• Pressed-in cover plate: the patented cover plate seals out debris and helps minimize looseness, reducing bearing wear for longer life.
• Gusher bearing + Belleville preload washer: the metal-to-metal Problem Solver bearing lets grease flow through the bearing surface, while the preload washer helps keep the bearing package tight as the bearings wear.

Ball studs are heat treated to match or exceed OE requirements to inhibit premature failure and improve fatigue strength, and a premium boot keeps contaminants out. If a worn outer tie rod end is the cause of play in your steering or uneven tire wear, this replaces it and helps restore vehicle handling.
