MOOG 00-05 Ford Excursion Front Left Outer / Left Outer Tie Rod End

The gusher bearing in this Moog ES3418 tie rod end is a notable design choice. It's a metal-to-metal setup that lets grease flow through the bearing surface, which helps cut down on friction and makes the part last longer. This is especially important for a steering component that takes a lot of abuse.

Moog engineers their tie rod ends with heat-treated ball studs that meet or exceed original equipment requirements. This helps prevent premature failure and makes them stronger under stress. The patented cover plate presses in and seals out dirt and debris, keeping the bearing clean and reducing wear. Plus, a Belleville preload washer helps keep the bearing package tight as it wears, maintaining a solid feel in your steering. This means you get steering that feels like new again, with less looseness and more confidence on the road.

When you're installing this tie rod end, you'll find that the precision tolerances make for an easy fit and help ensure your steering alignment is spot on. It's also designed to be greasable, so you can flush out contaminants and reduce corrosion by adding fresh lubricant. This part is available for a wide range of vehicles, ensuring you can get reliable steering performance for your truck or SUV.
