What does an outer tie rod end do?

The outer tie rod end connects the steering rack to the steering knuckle on your vehicle's wheel hub. It's a critical component that translates steering wheel movements into directional changes for your front wheels.

Why is the gusher bearing design important?

The gusher bearing design allows grease to flow through the bearing surface. This helps reduce friction and wear, leading to a longer lifespan for the tie rod end and maintaining better steering performance over time.

Does this tie rod end come with a zerk fitting for greasing?

Yes, this Moog outer tie rod end features a greaseable socket. This allows you to add fresh lubricant to flush out contaminants and reduce corrosion and wear, helping to extend the part's life.

Product Details

If you're noticing looseness in your steering or your Escape is pulling to one side, it might be time to replace the outer tie rod end. This part connects your steering rack to the steering knuckle, and when it wears out, it directly impacts how your vehicle handles. Moog's ES800955 is designed to bring that precise, responsive steering back to your 2013-2019 Ford Escape.

Moog builds these tie rod ends with a gusher bearing design. This means grease can flow through the bearing surface, reducing friction and wear for a longer lifespan. The ball stud is heat-treated to meet or exceed original equipment specs, making it strong and resistant to premature failure. Plus, a Belleville preload washer helps keep the bearing package tight as the part ages, maintaining steering feel. The pressed-in cover plate is a neat feature that seals out dirt and debris, further protecting the bearing.

This tie rod end is made for a direct fit, meaning installation should be straightforward, allowing for proper steering alignment. It's also greaseable, so you can flush out contaminants and keep it lubricated for continued performance.
