MOOG 07-10 Ford Explorer Sport Trac Front Inner / Inner Tie Rod End

When you're tackling front-end work on your 2006-2010 Ford Explorer, Ford Explorer Sport Trac, or Mercury Mountaineer, this Moog inner tie rod end (part number EV800278) is what you'll need to replace a worn-out component. It's designed to connect your steering rack to the steering knuckle, allowing your wheels to turn accurately when you move the steering wheel.

Moog builds these tie rod ends with a Gusher Bearing, which is a metal-to-metal design that lets grease flow through the bearing surface. This helps reduce friction and extend the life of the part. The ball studs are heat-treated to meet or exceed original equipment requirements, which helps prevent premature failure and improves fatigue strength. Plus, Moog includes a Belleville preload washer to help absorb shock loads and prevent spring bind. For installation, you'll find wrench flats on the housing and stud, making adjustments easier, and a pre-applied thread locking compound that helps prevent self-loosening.
