MOOG 13-19 Ford Police Interceptor Sedan Front Inner / Inner Tie Rod End

When you're tackling steering and suspension work on your 2011-2017 Ford Explorer, replacing the inner tie rod ends is a common and important step. These components connect your steering rack to the steering knuckle, and worn-out ones can lead to sloppy steering, uneven tire wear, and a general lack of control. This Moog inner tie rod end is designed to restore that precise feel and ensure your steering inputs are accurately translated to the wheels.

Moog builds these tie rod ends with a Gusher Bearing, which is a metal-to-metal design that lets grease flow through the bearing surface. This helps reduce friction and can lead to a longer service life. The ball studs are heat-treated to meet or exceed original equipment specifications, making them strong and resistant to premature failure. Plus, Moog includes a Belleville preload washer that helps absorb shock loads, preventing spring bind and potential damage during hard impacts. For installation, you'll find wrench flats on the housing and stud, making it easier to get them on and adjust alignment. They even come with a pre-applied thread locking compound to help prevent self-loosening, saving you a step during the job.

This part is a solid option for restoring your steering system's responsiveness. It's designed to fit right and perform reliably, giving you confidence every time you get behind the wheel.
