MOOG 11-17 Lexus CT200h Front Left Outer / Left Outer Tie Rod

The gusher bearing design in this Moog outer tie rod end is a notable feature, allowing grease to flow through the bearing surface. This helps reduce friction and extend the life of the part, which is crucial for steering components that see constant movement. When your tie rod ends wear out, you might notice looseness in your steering or uneven tire wear, so replacing them with well-built parts like these can make a big difference in how your Lexus CT200h handles.

Moog engineers heat-treat the ball studs to meet or exceed original equipment requirements, which helps prevent premature failure and improves fatigue strength, giving you a solid part you can rely on. The patented pressed-in cover plate is designed to keep debris out and minimize looseness, further reducing wear and promoting a longer service life. This tie rod end is also greaseable, meaning you can flush out contaminants and reduce corrosion by adding fresh lubricant, which is a practical step for maintaining steering system health.

You can expect a precise fit right out of the box, making installation straightforward and helping to ensure your steering alignment is correct. The Belleville preload washer is included to help keep the bearing package tight as the bearings naturally wear over time, maintaining consistent steering feel.
