MOOG 10-13 Kia Soul Front Right Outer / Right Outer Tie Rod

The gusher bearing in this Moog outer tie rod end is a key detail. It's a metal-to-metal design that lets grease flow through the bearing surface, which helps reduce friction and extend the part's life. This is especially important for a component like a tie rod end that sees constant movement and stress.

Moog designed this tie rod end to restore steering to how it felt when the car was new. The ball stud is heat-treated to meet or exceed original equipment requirements, helping to prevent early failure and improve fatigue strength. Plus, a patented pressed-in cover plate works to keep debris out and minimize looseness, further reducing wear on the bearing and promoting a longer service life.

You'll also appreciate that this tie rod end is greaseable. This means you can flush out contaminants with fresh lubricant, which helps reduce corrosion and wear. The engineers at Moog also include a Belleville preload washer, which helps keep the bearing package tight as the bearings naturally wear over time. This attention to detail means you get a part that fits right and performs reliably.
