MOOG 09-13 Mazda 6 Front Left Outer / Left Outer Tie Rod

When you're working on the steering on your 2009-2013 Mazda 6, a new Moog outer tie rod end is what you need to get things back to feeling right. This part connects your steering rack to the steering knuckle, and when it wears out, you'll notice looseness or play in the steering wheel. Moog builds these 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.

You'll also find a patented pressed-in cover plate that works to seal out dirt and debris, further minimizing looseness and bearing wear. The ball stud itself is heat-treated to meet or exceed original equipment specs, which helps prevent premature failure. Moog also includes a Belleville preload washer that keeps the bearing package tight as the bearings naturally wear over time. Because these are made with precision tolerances, they fit right and make steering alignment straightforward.

This tie rod end is also greaseable, meaning you can flush out contaminants and keep fresh lubricant in there to reduce corrosion and wear. Moog offers these for a wide range of vehicles, and this specific one is designed to fit your 2009-2013 Mazda 6.
