Front Right Outer Steering Tie Rod End

The gusher bearing design in this MOOG outer tie rod end is a notable feature. 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 the part that connects your steering linkage to your steering knuckle, so when it wears out, you'll notice it in your steering feel – maybe some looseness or vagueness. Moog builds these with heat-treated ball studs that meet or exceed original equipment specs, helping to prevent them from failing too early and improving their resistance to fatigue.

You'll also find a patented pressed-in cover plate that does a good job of keeping dirt and grime out, which further reduces wear on the bearing. There's also a Belleville preload washer that helps maintain a tight bearing package as the tie rod end naturally wears over time. This helps keep your steering feeling crisp. Plus, the socket is greaseable, meaning you can flush out contaminants and keep it lubricated for extended life. Moog designs these for a precise fit, making installation and alignment straightforward.
