What is a tie rod end and why does it need to be replaced?

The tie rod end connects your steering system to the steering knuckle, allowing your wheels to turn. When it wears out, you might notice looseness in the steering wheel, uneven tire wear, or a wandering sensation. Replacing it restores precise steering control.

Does this tie rod end come with a grease fitting?

Yes, this Moog tie rod end features a greaseable socket. This allows you to add fresh lubricant to flush out contaminants and reduce corrosion and wear, helping to extend the part's life.

What makes the Moog gusher bearing design beneficial?

The gusher bearing design is a metal-to-metal setup that allows grease to continuously flow through the bearing surface. This continuous lubrication helps reduce friction and wear, contributing to a longer service life for the tie rod end.

Product Details

When your Dodge Dakota starts to feel loose in the front end, or you notice uneven tire wear, it's often a sign that the tie rod ends are worn out. Replacing the worn outer tie rod end on the front left side is a common repair to get your steering feeling tight and responsive again. This Moog ES3573 tie rod end is built to bring back that like-new steering performance.

Moog uses a gusher bearing design in this tie rod end. This means it has a metal-to-metal setup that allows grease to flow through the bearing surface. This helps reduce friction and wear, leading to a longer service life. The ball stud is heat-treated to meet or exceed original equipment requirements, which helps prevent premature failure. Plus, the patented cover plate seals out dirt and debris, keeping the bearing clean and reducing looseness over time. It's also greaseable, so you can flush out contaminants and keep things lubricated for better durability.

This tie rod end is designed for a precise fit, making installation and steering alignment straightforward. The Belleville preload washer helps maintain a tight bearing package as the part wears, ensuring consistent performance. If you're tackling a front-end rebuild on your Dakota, this Moog tie rod end is a solid option to consider.
