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

A tie rod end connects your steering rack to the steering knuckle, allowing your wheels to turn. It's a pivot point that experiences a lot of stress. Greasing it regularly helps lubricate the internal components and flushes out contaminants, which reduces wear and corrosion, extending its lifespan.

Does this tie rod end come with a dust boot or seal?

Yes, this tie rod end features a patented pressed-in cover plate that acts as a seal to keep debris out and minimize looseness, helping to protect the bearing.

What does 'gusher bearing' mean for this tie rod end?

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

Product Details

If you're working on the steering on your 2000-2006 Ford Focus, this is the front right outer tie rod end from Moog. A worn tie rod end can lead to sloppy steering, uneven tire wear, and can even affect your alignment, so replacing it is key to getting your car handling right again.

Moog builds these with a gusher bearing design, which is a metal-to-metal setup that lets grease flow through the bearing surface. This helps reduce friction and wear, leading to a longer life. The ball stud is heat-treated to meet or exceed original equipment specs, making it strong and resistant to failure. Plus, the patented cover plate helps keep dirt and debris out, further protecting the bearing. It's also designed to absorb impacts with a preload washer that keeps the bearing tight as it wears, and the socket is greaseable to help flush out contaminants and reduce corrosion.

You'll find these fit right out of the box, with precision tolerances that make installation and alignment straightforward. Moog tests these thoroughly to ensure they perform reliably.
