MOOG 04-12 Chevrolet Malibu Front Outer / Outer Tie Rod End

MOOG is known for making well-built suspension parts that solve common problems. If you're working on the steering system of your 2004-2012 Chevrolet Malibu, this front outer tie rod end is designed to get your car handling right again. A worn tie rod end can lead to sloppy steering, uneven tire wear, and a general feeling of looseness, so replacing it is key to restoring that connected-to-the-road feel.

This MOOG tie rod end features a Gusher Bearing, which is a metal-to-metal design that lets grease flow through the bearing surface. This helps reduce friction and wear, leading to a longer service life. It also has a patented pressed-in cover plate that seals out dirt and debris, minimizing looseness and further protecting the bearing. The ball stud itself is heat-treated to meet or exceed original equipment requirements, which helps prevent premature failure and improves its fatigue strength. Plus, it's greaseable, so you can flush out contaminants and keep it lubricated for reduced corrosion and wear.

You'll find that MOOG parts are designed for easy installation with precision tolerances, ensuring a perfect fit and making steering alignment straightforward. It also includes a Belleville preload washer that helps keep the bearing package tight as the bearings naturally wear over time. This tie rod end is a solid option for getting your Malibu's steering back in top shape.
