MOOG 14-19 Ford Transit Connect Front Right Outer / Right Outer Tie Rod End

When you're tackling steering repairs on your 2013-2019 Ford Escape, the Moog ES800954 front right outer tie rod end is what you get in the box. This part is crucial for connecting your steering system to the wheel, allowing you to steer the vehicle accurately. Moog designs these with their Problem Solver Gusher Bearing, which is a metal-to-metal design that lets grease flow through the bearing surface. This helps reduce friction and wear, leading to a longer life for the part.

The patented pressed-in cover plate on this tie rod end works to seal out dirt and debris, which also minimizes looseness in the bearing. This helps reduce wear and keeps your steering feeling tight. The ball stud itself is heat-treated to meet or exceed original equipment requirements, making it strong and helping to prevent premature failure. Moog also includes a Belleville preload washer that helps keep the bearing package tight as the bearings naturally wear over time, maintaining a consistent feel. Because the socket is greaseable, you can flush out contaminants with fresh lubricant, further reducing corrosion and wear.

Moog tests these tie rod ends thoroughly throughout their design and development process to ensure you're getting a reliable part. They're made with precision tolerances, which means they fit right and make steering alignment straightforward after installation.
