MOOG Chassis Products Steering Tie Rod End P/N:EV800058
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.
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.
