Front Left Outer Steering Tie Rod End

If you're working on the steering on your 2007-2015 Mazda CX-9, this front left outer tie rod end from Moog is a solid option. It's designed to replace the worn-out original part, helping to bring back that precise, responsive steering feel you expect. A tie rod end is a critical link in your steering system, connecting the steering rack to the steering knuckle, so when it wears out, you might notice looseness or imprecise handling.

Moog builds these with 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 life for the part. It also features a Belleville preload washer that keeps the bearing package tight as it wears, and the socket is greaseable so you can flush out contaminants and keep it lubricated. This helps prevent corrosion and further wear, ensuring it performs reliably.

The engineers at Moog also include a patented pressed-in cover plate that seals out dirt and debris, which is key to minimizing looseness and bearing wear. They're heat-treated to meet or exceed original equipment requirements, which helps prevent premature failure. Because they're made to tight tolerances, you can expect an easy installation and a straightforward steering alignment.
