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

If you're working on the steering on your 2011-2017 Lexus CT200h, this front right outer tie rod end from Moog is a solid choice. It's designed to replace the worn-out original part, bringing back that crisp, responsive steering feel you expect. A tie rod end is a critical link in your steering system, connecting the steering rack to the steering knuckle, so when it wears out, you'll notice looseness or vagueness in your steering.

Moog builds these with a few smart features to make them last. The 'Gusher Bearing' design is notable because it's a metal-to-metal setup that lets grease flow through the bearing surface. This helps reduce friction and flush out contaminants, which can really extend the life of the part, especially on a daily driver. They also use a Belleville preload washer to keep the bearing package tight as it wears, helping to prevent looseness over time. The ball stud itself is heat-treated to meet or exceed original equipment requirements, making it strong and less likely to fail prematurely. Plus, the socket is greaseable, giving you a way to keep it lubricated and fight off corrosion.

When it comes time for installation, Moog aims for precision tolerances so it fits right and makes steering alignment straightforward. This means you can get your alignment done correctly after installation, ensuring your tires wear evenly and your steering wheel is centered.
