Front Right Outer Tie Rod End for 1997-1999 Dodge Dakota & More - MOOG ES3447T

If a worn tie rod is behind loose, wandering steering, the MOOG ES3447T Tie Rod End is a direct-fit replacement for the front right outer position on the 1997-1999 Dodge Dakota and 1998-1999 Dodge Durango. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for engine and application details.

This steering tie rod end is the outer link between the steering linkage and the steering knuckle. It carries your steering input to the wheel. MOOG backs its outer tie rod ends with high-grade materials and rigorous testing, and its problem-solving designs are aimed at quick, trouble-free installation.

• Patented pressed-in cover plate: Seals out debris and minimizes looseness, which reduces bearing wear and promotes longer life.
• Greaseable socket: Lets new lubricant flush out contaminants, which helps reduce corrosion and wear.
• Belleville preload washer: Absorbs impact and helps keep the bearing package tight as the bearings wear.
• Problem Solver® Gusher bearing: A metal-to-metal design provides strength and lets grease flow through the bearing surface to reduce friction.

The ball studs are heat treated to match or exceed OE requirements. This is intended to inhibit premature failure and improve fatigue strength. MOOG holds the part to precision tolerances for easy installation and steering alignment. MOOG engineers test it throughout the design and development process. Have the wheel alignment checked after installing a new tie rod end.
