MOOG 02-03 Lexus ES300 Front Left Outer / Left Outer Tie Rod End

The MOOG ES3601 outer tie rod end uses a patented pressed-in cover plate that seals out debris, which helps minimize looseness and reduce bearing wear. This design choice is part of MOOG's problem-solving approach to ensure reliable steering performance. It's built with a metal-to-metal design for the Gusher Bearing, allowing grease to flow through the bearing surface, reducing friction and extending its life.

The ball stud is heat treated to meet or exceed original equipment requirements, helping to prevent premature failure and improve fatigue strength. A Belleville preload washer is included to help keep the bearing package tight as the bearings naturally wear over time. This tie rod end is also greaseable, meaning you can flush out contaminants and reduce corrosion by adding fresh lubricant.

This part is designed for an easy installation with precision tolerances, making steering alignment straightforward and ensuring a perfect fit right out of the box. It's a solid option for restoring your vehicle's steering feel.
