Help bring back tight, responsive steering with the MOOG ES441RL front outer tie rod end. It is designed for OE fit and function and has a greaseable socket, so fresh lubricant can flush out contaminants. It fits many vehicles, among them the 1975-1981 Chevrolet Camaro, 1975-1979 Chevrolet Nova and 1976-1981 Pontiac Firebird. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list and engine details.
- Pressed-in cover plate: MOOG's patented pressed-in cover plate seals out debris and minimizes looseness, which helps reduce bearing wear.
- Greaseable socket: New lubricant can be added to flush out contaminants, which reduces corrosion and wear. A premium boot helps keep contaminants out.
- Problem Solver® Gusher bearing: A metal-to-metal design provides strength and lets grease flow through the bearing surface for reduced friction.
- Heat-treated ball studs: The ball studs are heat treated to match or exceed OE requirements, to inhibit premature failure and improve fatigue strength. The tie rod end is made of forged alloy steel for durability.
A Belleville preload washer is designed to keep the bearing package tight as the bearings wear. Precision tolerances are intended to make installation and steering alignment straightforward. Signs that a tie rod end may need replacing include loose or wandering steering, clunking when turning or going over bumps, uneven tire wear, and a torn boot or noticeable play at the joint. A wheel alignment is recommended after installation.
