What is a 'gusher bearing' and why is it important?

A gusher bearing is a metal-to-metal design that allows grease to flow through the bearing surface. This helps reduce friction and wear, leading to a longer lifespan for the tie rod end, especially under constant movement.

Does this tie rod end come with a grease fitting?

Yes, this tie rod end features a greaseable socket. This allows you to add fresh lubricant to flush out contaminants and reduce corrosion and wear.

What does the Belleville preload washer do?

The Belleville preload washer helps maintain tension on the bearing package. As the bearings naturally wear over time, this washer helps keep the connection tight, reducing looseness.
