What does a tie rod end do?

The tie rod end connects your vehicle's steering rack to the steering knuckle, which is attached to the wheel. It's a critical component that translates the steering wheel's movement into the wheels' direction, allowing you to steer the vehicle.

Why is the socket on this tie rod end greaseable?

A greaseable socket allows you to add fresh lubricant periodically. This helps to flush out contaminants like dirt and water that can cause corrosion and wear, ultimately extending the life of the tie rod end.

What is the benefit of the Gusher Bearing design?

The Gusher Bearing uses a metal-to-metal design that allows grease to flow through the bearing surface. This continuous lubrication helps to reduce friction and wear, contributing to a longer service life for the tie rod end.

Product Details

When you're tackling steering repairs on your 2014-2018 BMW X5, you'll find this Moog front left outer tie rod end is a well-built component designed to get your vehicle back to feeling right. This part is crucial for connecting your steering rack to the steering knuckle, directly influencing how your wheels turn and how your car handles on the road. Moog has incorporated several features into this tie rod end to ensure it performs reliably and lasts.

One notable feature is the Problem Solver Gusher Bearing, which uses a metal-to-metal design that allows grease to flow through the bearing surface. This helps reduce friction and wear, contributing to a longer service life. The ball stud itself is heat-treated to meet or exceed original equipment requirements, which helps prevent premature failure and improves fatigue strength. Moog also includes a Belleville preload washer, which helps keep the bearing package tight as the bearings naturally wear over time, maintaining consistent steering feel. Plus, the socket is greaseable, allowing you to flush out contaminants with fresh lubricant, further reducing corrosion and wear.

Moog engineers their parts with precision tolerances, aiming for an easy installation and straightforward steering alignment, so you can expect a solid fit right out of the box. This tie rod end is a popular choice for restoring confident steering control.
