MOOG 05-12 Ford Escape Front Outer / Outer Tie Rod End

MOOG is known for making well-built suspension parts that solve common problems. This outer tie rod end, part number ES800846, is designed for your 2005-2012 Ford Escape, 2010-2011 Mazda Tribute, or 2006-2011 Mercury Mariner. It's a crucial part of your steering system, connecting your steering rack to the steering knuckle, and replacing a worn one will restore precise steering feel and control.

What sets this MOOG tie rod end apart is its Gusher Bearing design. This metal-to-metal setup allows grease to flow directly to the bearing surface, which helps reduce friction and extend the life of the part. It also features a patented pressed-in cover plate that seals out dirt and debris, minimizing looseness and wear. The ball stud is heat-treated to meet or exceed original equipment requirements, ensuring it can handle the stresses of the road without failing prematurely. Plus, a Belleville preload washer helps maintain proper bearing tension as the part wears, keeping your steering tight.

You'll find that this tie rod end is made with precision tolerances, making installation straightforward and helping ensure your steering alignment is spot on afterward. It's also a greaseable socket, meaning you can flush out contaminants and add fresh lubricant to further combat corrosion and wear. This part is a solid option for getting your steering back to feeling like new.
