What is a gusher bearing and why is it important?

A gusher bearing is a metal-to-metal design that allows grease to flow through the bearing surface. This feature helps reduce friction and wear, contributing to a longer service life for the tie rod end.

Does this tie rod end come with a grease fitting?

Yes, this tie rod end features a greaseable socket. This allows you to flush out contaminants with fresh lubricant, which helps reduce corrosion and wear.

What is the purpose of the Belleville preload washer?

The Belleville preload washer is designed to keep the bearing package tight as the tie rod end naturally wears over time. This helps maintain consistent steering feel and performance.

Product Details

The gusher bearing design in this Moog tie rod end is a smart detail. It's a metal-to-metal setup that lets grease flow through the bearing surface, which helps cut down on friction and makes the part last longer. This is a solid option for restoring that like-new steering feel to a wide range of vehicles, including models like the Chevrolet Camaro, Pontiac Firebird, and Buick Skylark.

Moog also includes a patented pressed-in cover plate that does a good job of keeping dirt and debris out, further protecting the bearing from wear. The ball stud itself is heat-treated to meet or exceed original equipment specs, helping to prevent early failure. Plus, the greaseable socket means you can flush out contaminants with fresh lubricant, which is always a good idea for reducing corrosion and wear over time.

You'll find the tolerances on this tie rod end are precise, making installation and getting your steering alignment dialed in a straightforward process. The Belleville preload washer is another detail that helps keep the bearing package snug as the part naturally wears, ensuring consistent performance.
