Yes, this Moog inner tie rod end comes with pre-applied thread locking compound on the threads. This helps prevent self-loosening and makes installation easier.

Product Details

When you're tackling steering repairs on your 2009-2014 Nissan Maxima, replacing the inner tie rod ends is a common and important step. These parts connect your steering rack to the steering knuckle, and when they wear out, you'll notice looseness in the steering wheel, imprecise handling, and potentially uneven tire wear. This Moog inner tie rod end is built to bring that steering feel back to how it should be.

Moog puts a lot of thought into making these parts last and be easy to install. The ball stud is heat-treated to be strong and resist wear, which helps prevent it from failing too early. They also include a thread-locking compound already applied to the threads, which saves you a step during installation and helps keep the tie rod from loosening up on its own. You'll find wrench flats on both the housing and the stud, making it easier to get everything tightened down correctly and set your alignment.

Having reliable steering components is key to feeling confident on the road. Moog tests these parts thoroughly to make sure they perform as expected.
