Front Right Outer Steering Tie Rod End

MOOG is known for making well-built suspension and steering parts that aim to solve common problems. This outer tie rod end, part number ES80667, is designed to restore precise steering feel and control for a wide range of Audi and Volkswagen vehicles. If your car feels loose in the front end, or if you notice uneven tire wear, a worn tie rod end like this could be the culprit.

This MOOG tie rod end features a gusher bearing design, which is a metal-to-metal setup that allows grease to flow through the bearing surface. This helps reduce friction and wear, contributing to a longer service life. It also includes a patented pressed-in cover plate that seals out dirt and debris, further minimizing looseness and bearing wear. The ball stud is heat-treated to meet or exceed original equipment requirements, ensuring it can handle the stresses of the road without failing prematurely. Plus, the socket is greaseable, allowing you to flush out contaminants with fresh lubricant, which helps prevent corrosion and wear.

Installation is made easier thanks to precision tolerances that allow for a proper fit and accurate steering alignment. A Belleville preload washer is also included to help keep the bearing package tight as the component naturally wears over time. This part is designed for a direct fit on many Audi and Volkswagen models, including the Audi Q3, Volkswagen Jetta, and Volkswagen Tiguan.
