MOOG 14-16 Kia Sportage Front Inner / Inner Tie Rod

Moog is known for creating parts that solve common automotive problems, and this inner tie rod end is no different. If you're working on the steering on your 2014-2016 Kia Sportage, this part is designed to get your front end tracking straight again. It's a key component that connects your steering rack to the steering knuckle, allowing you to turn the wheels.

What sets this Moog tie rod end apart is its Gusher Bearing design. This metal-to-metal setup lets grease flow through the bearing surface, which helps reduce friction and can lead to a longer lifespan for the part. The ball stud is heat-treated to meet or exceed original equipment requirements, adding strength and preventing early failure. Plus, Moog includes a Belleville preload washer that helps absorb shock loads, preventing spring bind and shattering during impacts. They even pre-apply a thread-locking compound to make installation easier and keep the tie rod from loosening up on its own.

You'll find wrench flats on both the housing and the stud, which really helps during installation and when you need to make alignment adjustments. This specific part is for the front inner position on your Sportage, and Moog offers comprehensive coverage for many vehicles.
