What is a gusher bearing design and why is it beneficial?

A gusher bearing design uses a metal-to-metal setup that allows grease to flow through the bearing surface. This continuous lubrication helps reduce friction and wear, leading to a longer lifespan for the tie rod end.

How does the Belleville washer help?

The Belleville preload washer is designed to keep the bearing package tight as the tie rod end wears over time. This helps maintain a more consistent and responsive steering feel.

Can I install this myself?

This tie rod end features precision tolerances for easy installation and steering alignment, suggesting it's designed for a straightforward replacement. However, it's always recommended to consult your vehicle's service manual or a professional mechanic for specific installation procedures.

Cadillac SRX 2004-2009

Product Details

MOOG is known for making well-built suspension parts that solve common problems. If your 2004-2009 Cadillac SRX feels loose in the front end or the steering isn't as responsive as it used to be, a worn outer tie rod end could be the culprit. This MOOG ES80960 outer tie rod end is designed to replace the original part and bring back that tight, predictable steering feel.

This tie rod end features 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, especially when you're regularly lubricating it. The ball stud is heat-treated to meet or exceed original equipment strength, which helps prevent it from failing too early. Plus, a Belleville washer is included to help keep the bearing package snug as the part wears over time, maintaining a tighter feel.

Installing this tie rod end is made easier thanks to precision tolerances that help ensure it fits right and allows for a proper steering alignment. The socket is also greaseable, meaning you can flush out contaminants and reduce corrosion by adding fresh lubricant during routine maintenance.
