MOOG 03-06 Cadillac Escalade ESV Front Outer / Outer Tie Rod End

If you're noticing some looseness in your steering or your vehicle isn't tracking straight like it used to, it might be time to look at your tie rod ends. This is the MOOG ES3493T outer tie rod end, a solid option for a range of trucks and SUVs, including popular models like the Cadillac Escalade ESV, Chevrolet Silverado 1500, and GMC Yukon. It's designed to replace your worn-out original part and bring back that responsive steering feel.

What sets this MOOG tie rod end apart is its Problem Solver Gusher Bearing. This isn't just a standard bearing; it's a metal-to-metal design that allows grease to flow through the bearing surface. This helps reduce friction and wear, especially important in a part that's constantly working. The ball stud is heat-treated to meet or exceed original equipment requirements, which helps prevent premature failure and improves its resistance to fatigue. Plus, the patented pressed-in cover plate works to seal out dirt and debris, further minimizing looseness and extending the life of the bearing.

MOOG also includes a Belleville preload washer, which helps keep the bearing package tight as the part naturally wears over time. This tie rod end is also greaseable, meaning you can flush out contaminants and add fresh lubricant to reduce corrosion and wear. MOOG parts are known for fitting right, and this one is no exception, with precision tolerances that make installation and alignment straightforward.
