What is a tie rod end and why does it need to be replaced?

A tie rod end connects your steering rack to the steering knuckle, allowing your wheels to turn. When it wears out, you might notice looseness in the steering wheel, or uneven tire wear. Replacing it restores proper steering function and alignment.

How do I lubricate this Moog tie rod end?

This tie rod end has a greaseable socket. You'll need a standard grease gun and the appropriate chassis grease. Locate the zerk fitting on the socket, attach the grease gun, and pump until you see a small amount of grease emerge from the seal, indicating the socket is full and contaminants have been flushed out.

Does this tie rod end come with a dust boot?

Yes, this tie rod end features a patented pressed-in cover plate that acts as a seal to keep debris out and minimize looseness, helping to protect the bearing surface.

Product Details

If you're working on the steering on your 2008-2011 Ford Focus, this Moog front left outer tie rod end is a solid choice. It's a key part of your steering linkage, connecting the steering rack to the steering knuckle, and when it wears out, you'll notice looseness or play in your steering wheel. Moog has built this tie rod end with a gusher bearing design, which is a metal-to-metal setup that lets grease flow through the bearing surface. This helps reduce friction and wear, leading to a longer life for the part.

They've also included a patented pressed-in cover plate that works to keep dirt and debris out, which further minimizes looseness and bearing wear. The ball stud itself is heat-treated to meet or exceed original equipment specs, making it strong and less likely to fail prematurely. Plus, the socket is greaseable, so you can flush out contaminants and keep it lubricated for reduced corrosion and wear. Moog tests these parts thoroughly to ensure they perform reliably, and they're made with precision tolerances so they fit right and allow for easy steering alignment.
