Front Inner Steering Tie Rod End

If you're working on the steering system of a Chevrolet Colorado, GMC Canyon, or Isuzu i-series truck from the mid-2000s, this Moog inner tie rod end (part number EV800301) is a solid option. It connects your steering rack to the steering knuckle, translating your steering wheel movements into directional changes for the wheels. A worn tie rod end can lead to sloppy steering, uneven tire wear, and can even be a safety concern, so replacing it is key to restoring precise control.

Moog builds these tie rod ends with a gusher bearing design. This means the ball stud has channels that allow grease to flow through, keeping the bearing surface lubricated and reducing friction for a longer lifespan. The ball studs themselves are heat-treated to meet or exceed original equipment specifications, which helps prevent premature failure and improves fatigue strength. You'll also find that Moog includes a Belleville preload washer, which is designed to absorb impacts and prevent binding or shattering when the suspension encounters sudden loads. Plus, they often come with a thread-locking compound pre-applied, making installation a bit quicker and helping to keep things tight.

When it comes time to install, you'll appreciate the wrench flats on both the housing and the stud, which give you solid points to grip for easy installation and alignment adjustments. This part is designed to fit a variety of Chevrolet Colorado, GMC Canyon, and Isuzu i-series trucks, making it a versatile replacement for many common steering issues.
